SECTIONS

The designer shows the internal construction of a building by means of a section.

Section drawings are prepared for interior details needed to guide construction. Interior elevation drawing
shows builders how to construct and install special features of a home. These features include closets, cabinets,
bathtubs and other special details.
Techniques for preparing interior elevation drawings are the same as for exterior elevations. Use a floor plan to
locate key vertical lines after horizontal dimensions have been indicated.
Section is a type of drawing which shows the interior or inside of a building or structure.
Cross section is a type of section where the cutting-plane line is drawn horizontally.
Longitudinal section is a type of section where the cutting-plane is drawn vertically.
Cutting plane line a heavy line which shows the exact location where the plan is cut.

The following are the types of sections used in architectural drafting.

1. Structural section shows the entire building construction. This is useful in planning for structural strength and
rigidity, determining the length of members and specifying sizes.

2. Wall section shows the construction of a typical wall. This section is useful in determining sizes and material
specification for all rough members.

3. Detail section shows any deviation from a typical section. It is drawn to a larger scale.
FULL SECTIONS:

Architects prepare drawings that show the building cut in to half to show the internal structure. This is
known as longitudinal section, meaning lengthwise. When it is cut across, it is called transverse section. It is
imagined that a plane is passed through the building cutting it in half by a cutting plane line.
There are different ways of drawing the cutting plane line, most especially if it interferes with dimensions as
shown in these figures.

GUIDE
For the Teacher: Advise the students to read the reading and discussion portion before they attempt to answer
the practice exercises. Going through the parts sequentially will help them easily understand the topic.

For the Learner: Read through the self-learning home task from the first part to the last part. Doing so, will help
you understand better the topic.

For the Parent/Home Tutor: Assist your child and make sure that he/she reads the self-learning home task from
beginning to end to ensure proper understanding of the concepts.
