2. Draft the roof. Copy the illustration given.
3. Proper graphic standards must be followed: Proper lettering, proper line types, line weights, lettering,
and dimensioning.
4. Use scale 1:100 in drafting the roof.

Part 2: Architectural Lettering.

1. Using architectural lettering, define each type of line and illustrate each on the 8 boxes provided in the
given illustration. You may copy the reference.
2. Remember to use a standard of 3 mm lettering height for callouts and labels as well as sentences.
