Let's look at a finished elevation drawing with all the notes, symbols, and lineweight applied. Conveying the house like this allows the drawing to be accurately scaled and more simply understood.Įlevations communicate the following information about a home: Vertical lines are straight up and down, horizontal lines are straight left and right. Notice, none of the lines are skewed as you might view the house in real life. On this plane, we will project the lines from the front elevation of the house.Īlone, the elevation drawing will look like this.

Using the same idea as before, on the floor plan drawing, I've drawn arrows to show the main faces of the house that will be projected onto our elevation drawings.įocusing on the front elevation, imagine a plane that is parallel to the front walls of the house - or if you are like me and need to see something to understand it, take a look below. We'll use our recently design Boston house plan. I'll explain that more clearly below.Īs an example, let's look at a house in 3D. Basically, this means that lines are straight up and down and side to side on paper. If the floor plans are like looking down at a house without a roof, the elevation is like looking at it from the side. The drawing is distorted - while you and I would look from the street at a house and see depth and perspective, an elevation drawing is compressed into a single plane. In simpler terms, an elevation is a drawing which shows any particular side of a house.
