Secti

ons

• A section is when you slice through an object and look into the interior.

• This can be used for buildings, houses, walls, machines, parts, etc.

• Think of our opening activity when you looked at one half of an apple and then drew other cross-cut items.

• What did you see? Why was this important?

• What was unique about your item that allowed you to distinguish between other drawings?

• This type of view is called a “section view.”

• It is used on drawings and can be used for presentations to help people clearly understand the relation of spaces and materials.

• Section views can be vital in understanding the “inner working” of a house, building, part, or machine.

ns

• A section can be used to explain what the interior of a house or building would look like.

• How is it put together? What materials are used? How do they relate to each other?

• An architect or designer may need to describe something a certain way, and a section can help relay that information.

Wal

l Sec

tions

• A wall section is a perpendicular “cut” through a wall.

• This is used to show the materials that make up the wall and how they are assembled.

• Typically, a wall is designated on a floor plan by simple lines.

• This type of designation does not give an accurate description of the wall composition.

l Sec

tions

• On a typical set of construction drawings, you will have a wall section for each type of wall.

• For instance, you may have an exterior wall with a brick veneer and an interior wall with just drywall.

• These two walls are very different and both serve a different function.

• It is important to designate the two and properly show how to assemble each one.

• You, as a designer, must understand how things are put together and the proper use of each material.

• We will first look at a typical wall section and what it takes to put a basic interior wall together.

• At the top and bottom of the wall, you would have to “cut” through the top plate and sole plate. This is designated by an “X” form through the 2x4 stud

Mor

ction

s

• We looked at a basic interior wall.

• Most sections are more complex and involved and require much more attention and detail.

• As designers become more familiar with materials, construction techniques, and properties, they can develop more complex wall sections.

Let’s apply your new knowledge by examining a variety of exterior walls and developing our own wall sections.
