How to read House Plans

The plans are drawings that represent the views of an object from different positions. We have floor plans (viewed from above), elevation drawings or face (viewed from front), flat in profile or views (side view), it really is as if we have it on a cube, and then we deploy everything to represent it on a plan. We have detailed plans (they are on a larger scale to better appreciate the details), section planes or Court (this is how we would face if we give a cut imaginary) Building site plans we also have implantation (simply a street where anger shows where the work).

Stakeout Plans

This type of plan shows the building as seen from above if it is cut to one meter above the floor usually (this level can vary as needed to show details of the project are above this level). These are the first plans of the construction, and they can make us understand quickly the work as broadly. They show the position of the walls, foundations, the axes of layout, levels, others.

These are the steps that must be followed in order to draw a plan:

  1. Identify the elements that appear on the ground
  2. Project an imaginary line cut and cut where each element (wall, door, windows)
  3. Display the house with the cut

In Stakeout Plans design no colors are employed, we use only red in the image above to show the court. On a stakeout what is cut and the remaining "background" differs with the thickness of line, which is above (is closer to the observer) and is drawn with thicker lines, so this below or is less important it drawn with thinner lines.

  • The drawing of the windows cut in the glass windows and the frame (which are drawn with a thick line), while farther away you can see the chest (the piece of wall that is below).
  • Door: The doors always open draw. And he also draws an imaginary line that shows the path of the door opening. This line is imaginary and unimportant, so the draw is finite. The importance of this part of the picture is telling us to side to open the door: Inside or outside, left or right, and if during your journey affects elements on the local, as a toilet.
