buz Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 This is a tough question to ask. Having no training as an Arch I'm wondering where I can find info regarding detail, section and other markers and how to number them. In other words - how to label the markers to point to the sheet they are on? tfyh Buz Quote Link to comment
buz Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 Maybe the question isn't clear. What i would like to learn is - after creating a detail or section, I would like to know how the markers are labeled to reference the sheets containing the section line or detail. Most of them are a circle with a number/letters above and a number/letters below - what do these refer to? In the school of hard knocks, but figuring it out piece by piece. tfyh Quote Link to comment
Mat Caird Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I'll tell you something about this Buz, 'cause I know you're gonna help me with my classes question You usually start a set of working drawings with the site plan. The site plan becomes drawing 1, on sheet A1. The level 1 floor plan is drawing 2, sheet A2. You might have room for level 2 floor plan on sheet A2, so it becomes drawing 3, sheet A2. On the floor plans, you will show a section line indicating where-abouts the section is taken through...the first one will be called section a-a, and will refer the 'user' to the sheet that the section is printed on (eg A4). The drawing title for section a-a (on sheet A4) will show a-a, and A2, which indicates that the 'user' should look at sheet A2 to see where the section was cut thru. Sing out if u want me to go on&on&on Quote Link to comment
buz Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 Thanks Mat - I've read your reply and see the 'gist' of what you are saying. will have to re-read it a few times - feel free to ....... go on and on - :-) I'm not new to VW but very new to VW Arch. My drawings are just enough to show a building inspector/planning dept to pull permits. A bit crude to put it mildly. The 'gist' of my question is in the hopes of creatng more 'professional' looking drawings. Thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment
