Interior Elevations

Types of Drawings � When an object is enclosed in a glass box, each plane of the box can serve as a picture plane. � The view from the top plane (picture plane) creates a plan view, in this case a roof plan � The view through the picture plan enclosing the side of the box is called ELEVATION � A SECTION is a view of an object with the picture plane slicing neatly Section through it. � A FLOOR PLAN is a view of a building from above with a horizontal plane sliced through it and removed to expose thickness of the walls. Elevations Floor Plan

Interior Elevations �Just as exterior elevations are created to reveal elements and features, interior elevations reveal interior features of a building. �One way to understand the creation of interior elevation is to imagine ourselves inside the room we are drawing.

Interior Elevations Imagine standing inside a room facing one wall directly, with a large sheet of glass ( the picture plane) inserted between the viewer and the wall. The interior elevation can then be created by outlining (projecting onto the picture plane) the significant features of the wall.

Interior Elevations are drawn to depict accessories, equipment, cabinetry, fixtures and design details. Some detail millwork. Portions of wall cut into or closest to the viewer are bold.

Interior Elevations Objects further away are drawn with progressively lighter lines. In elevations including cabinetry and or millwork, details such as counter tops, door frames, and hardware should be included. All elevations require titles and reference symbols.
