  1. Weekend Cabin Retreat ProjectElevations Sacramento City College EDT 300 Kenneth Fitzpatrick, P.E. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  2. Objectives • List exterior elevation features. • Show elevation dimensions. • Show elevation symbols. • Draw typical exterior elevations. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  3. Elevations • An elevation is an orthographic projection (drawing) that shows one side of the building. • The term "elevation" usually refers to an exterior elevation. • Various interior elevations may be drawn, but they are usually considered to be details. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  4. Elevations • Elevations • Show the finished appearance of a given side of the building. • Show vertical height dimensions. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  11. Elevations • Four elevations are customarily drawn-one for each side of the house. • More than four elevations may be required to describe some structures. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  12. Elevation Drawings • Elevation drawings provide • Height information about basic features of the house that cannot be shown very well on other drawings. • Exterior materials information such as siding and roof covering. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  13. Elevation Drawing Information • Elevation drawings should include: • Identification of the specific side the house that the elevation represents. • Grades. • Finished floor and ceiling levels. • Location of exterior wall corners. • Windows and doors. • Roof features. • Vertical dimensions of important features. • Porches, decks and patios. • Material symbols. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  14. Elevation Identification • Identify each elevation as to the particular wall it represents. • North Elevation • South Elevation • East Elevation • West Elevation EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  15. Elevation Identification • Two methods commonly used for identifying elevations • Front, Rear, Right Side, and Left Side • North, South, East, and West EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  16. Elevation Identification • Front, Rear, Right Side, and Left Side designation is preferred by most designers. • There is a possibility of confusion when specifying directions. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  17. Elevation Identification • The right and leftsideelevations are determined by facingthefrontofthebuilding. • The right side elevation is then on the rightside. (!) • Identify each elevationbelow the drawing to avoid confusion. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  18. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • The reference point for most elevations is the grade line. • Study the plot or siteplan to determine the existing grade along each exterior wall of the house. • If the existing grade is not satisfactory, a final grade line must be indicated on each elevation affected. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  19. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  20. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • Indicate the desired elevation heightof the grade at each corner of the house. • Record this information on • The Plot Plan • The Elevation Drawing if the site is not relatively level. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  21. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • Below grade features should be drawn in hidden lines. • Foundation walls. • Footings. • Window wells (areaways). EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  22. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • Floor-to-ceiling height is an important feature of the elevation. • Two methods of representing this height are commonly used. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  23. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  24. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • First Method: • Indicate the finished floor-to-finished ceiling distance. • The floor and ceiling are represented using a center line symbol. • First floorfinished floor to finished ceiling is 8'-O" • Second floorfinished floor to finished ceiling is 7'-6" or 8'-O”. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  25. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • Second Method: • Show the construction dimension. • Measured from the top of the subfloor to the top of the wall plate. • The construction dimension • First floor 8'-1 1/2" • Second floor: 7'-7 1/2" or 8'- 1 1/2" • Carpenters usually prefer the this method because it does not require them to do any calculation. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  26. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • Garage ceilings minimum recommended height is 8'-O". • Basements must have a clear headroom space of at least 6'-2”. • All beams and heating ducts must be above this height. • A full height ceiling is more desirable and should be specified where practical. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  27. Grade Lines, Floors, Ceilings • Most codes require that the top of the foundation wall be at least 8" above the grade. • This is to protect the framing members from moisture. • The garage floor may be slightly higher than the grade, but should be at least 4" lower than an interior floor when the garage is attached to the house.

  31. Walls, Windows, and Doors • All visible wall cornersare shown on the elevation using object lines. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  32. Walls, Windows, and Doors • Exterior windows and doors must be included on the elevation. • Project from the floor plan for window and door location. • The vertical height is shown only on the elevation drawing. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  33. Walls, Windows, and Doors • Place tops of windows the same height as the tops of doors. • The lower face of the head jamb is considered the height of the opening. • This dimension is usually 6'-10" from the top of the subfloor. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  34. Walls, Windows, and Doors • Show sufficient detail on windows and doors to accurately indicate details. • If windows are hinged, show the swing using the proper symbol. • If the windows or doors have brick mold or other trim then show this on the elevation. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  35. Walls, Windows, and Doors • Show the window and door identification symbols on the elevation plan and floor plan. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  36. Roof Features • Showing roof features on an elevation drawing is important. • The roof style and pitch are shown. • The chimney height and size are shown. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  37. Roof Features • The roof pitch may be indicated using the fractional pitch or slope triangle. • The slope triangle is usually preferred. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  38. Roof Features - Chimney • Chimneys that intersect the roof require more than one view to determine the points where they pass through the roof. • Draw the view where the roof slope is shown first. • This view will indicate where the chimney passes through the roof. • These points may then be projected to other views. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  39. Roof Features - Chimney • The chimney height above the highest roof point must be dimensioned. • A minimum height of the chimneyabove the ridge is usually 2'-O". EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  40. Roof Features - Chimney • Chimney flashing, roof covering material, and gable ventilators are also shown on the elevation. • Use proper symbols and adequate dimensions and notes on the drawings. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  41. Dimensions, Notes, and Symbols • Dimensions on the elevation drawing are mainly vertical height dimensions. • Dimension: • Thickness of the footing. • Distance from the footing to the grade. • Finished floor-to-finished ceiling distances. • Overhang width. • Height of the top of windows and doors. • Height of chimney above the roof. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  42. Dimensions, Notes, and Symbols • Other dimensions may be required: • Deck railing. • Retaining walls. • Planters. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  43. Dimensions, Notes, and Symbols • Include notes where additional information is needed. • Some typical elevation drawing notes: • Grade information. • Exterior wall material notation. • Roof covering material identification. • Fascia material. • flashing material. • Other notes may be required for specific situations. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  44. Dimensions, Notes, and Symbols • Symbols are commonly used on elevations. • The roof pitch symbol is always shown • The exterior wall covering is usually symbolized. • Show material symbols extensively on the front elevation; show sparingly on the remaining views. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  45. Drawings • The floor plan shows the width and depth of a house plan and the features of the interior. • The elevations show the width and height of the house and its exterior features. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  46. Drawings • The floor plan is usually designed first. • The elevations are then projected and designed from the floor plan. • Following these procedural steps will insure an accurate and fast layout for the elevation design. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  47. Drawing Elevations EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  48. Drawing Elevations - Step 1 • Tape the finished floor plan to the top of the drawing board, above a blank drawing format for the elevation drawings. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  49. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations

  50. Drawing Elevations - Step 2 • Lay out all the horizontal heights for: • The finish grade. • Floor line. • Depth and thickness of footings. • Window and door heights. • Ceiling line. • Eaves line. • Ridge line/board. • Top of chimney. EDT 300 - Cabin Design Project - Elevations
