322 Chapter 11 Reading Sections and Details

INTRODUCTIONSections are drawn to show the vertical relationships of the structural materials that are specified on the floor, framing, and foundation plans. The sections show the methods of construction for the framing crew. Before working with sec-tions, it is important to understand the cutting plane’s rela-tionship to the section, the different types of sections, and their common scales.

SECTION ALIGNMENTWhen reading sections, as with reading other parts of the plans, the drawing is read from the bottom or right side of the page. The theory involved in creating a section is that a giant chop saw was used to slice the structure, exposing all of the structural members that the saw blade, referred to as a cutting plane, passed through. The cutting plane, as shown in Figure 3.88, is placed on the floor or framing plan to show where the structure is being cut to allow viewing. The arrows of the cutting plane normally point to the top or left side of the paper, depending on the area of the building being sec-tioned. More important is the direction the cutting plane is placed in relationship to the building shape. Figure  11.1 shows the relationship of the section viewing plane and the resulting section.

Longitudinal Sections

A longitudinal section is produced when the cutting plane is parallel to the long axis of the structure. It is generally perpendicular to most structural materials used to frame the roof, ceiling, and floor systems. Because the framing mem-bers are perpendicular to the cutting plane, they are seen as if they were cut. Figure 11.2 shows an example of a longitu-dinal section.

Transverse Section

A transverse section, often referred to as a cross section, is produced when the cutting plane is parallel to the short axis of the structure. The cutting plane for a transverse section is usually parallel to the materials used to frame the roof, ceil-ing, and floor systems and generally provides a clearer view of the shape of the structure. Figure 11.3 shows a transverse section.

TYPES OF SECTIONSIn addition to identifying the cutting plane’s alignment to the structure, there are three types of sections that may result from passing the cutting plane through the structure: full sections, partial sections, and details. Each may appear in the plans as a transverse or longitudinal view.

FIGURE 11.1 The cutting plane on the framing plan shows the direction from which the section is to be viewed. Depending on the cutting plane’s relationship to the structure, a longitudinal or transverse section will be produced. Each type of section is used to show the vertical relationships of all structural materials cut by the cutting plane.© Cengage Learning 2013

Full Sections

A full section refers to a section that cuts through the entire building, as shown in Figure  11.2 and Figure  11.3. For a simple structure, only one section might be needed to fully explain the types of construction to be used. A structure can have several full sections, depending on the different types of construction materials and techniques used.

Full sections are meant to give an overall view of a specific area of the structure and may be either longitudinal or trans-verse. No matter the type of section, you should be able to find the following information in a building section:

• Roof, ceilings, partitions, and floor members that are cut by the cutting plane.

• Vertical relationship of major structural members including:

324 Chapter 11 Reading Sections and Details

• Floor-to-floor dimensions

• Floor-to-ceiling dimensions

• Floor-to-header dimensions

• Footing sizes and depth into grade

• Other building section references that intersect the building section.

• Room names and numbers of the areas cut by the cutting plane.

• Major materials, symbols, and lists of abbreviations.

Partial Sections

A partial section, a section that does not go completely through the structure, is used to show only a specific area of the struc-ture. The partial section can be used to show atypical construc-tion methods, such as variations of the roof or foundation that were presented in other sections, as well as construction materi-als that are not seen in other sections. When a partial section is used to show one specific wall, it is also referred to as a wall section. Wall sections, which can be referenced to the floor plan or to other sections, are usually plotted at a larger scale than a full section and provide better clarity of specific areas. Figure 11.4 shows an example of a partial section.

Detailed Sections

Detailed sections, also known as details, are provided to clarify small areas such as the intersection of the floor system to a wall. Sections, wall sections, and details can be thought of as different stages of the zoom lens of a camera. With each zoom, a smaller area is seen, but each material in the display increases in size. When details are drawn, a section is often plotted with very little information placed on it. This section serves as a reference map to indicate how the details relate to each other. An example of this type of section can be seen in Figure  11.5, with a portion of the related details seen in Figure 11.6.

By combining the information on the framing plans and the sections, the contractor should be able to make accurate estimates regarding the amount of material required and the cost of completing the project. To help make the sections

easier to read, sections have become somewhat standardized in several areas. These include the areas of scales and alignment.

Scale

The scale used to create the section will dictate the amount of information you can expect to get from the drawing. Sec-tions are typically plotted at a scale of 3/8" � 1'–0". At this scale, general information can be seen, but the clarity of most small items will be difficult to find. Scales of 1/8" or 1/4" may be used for supplemental sections requiring little detail. At these scales, the relationship of major components can be found, but information about exact intersections will not be present. A scale of 3/4" � 1'–0" or larger is often used to present most construction details. Although you will not be scaling the section, understanding the scale that was used to create the section will help form your expectations of what will be found in the section.

READING SECTIONSBefore trying to gain information from the sections, study the floor, foundation, and framing plans and elevations to gain a general understanding of the structure. Look for gen-eral information such as how many floors will be con-structed and the roof framing method. For each level in the sections, a floor or framing plan should be available to pro-vide sizes and layout. Determine the main material used to construct walls. The use of wood or metal studs and brick or concrete blocks will affect what you should be expecting to find as you enter the sections.

As you study the sections, determine how many have been drawn, and make sure you can find a cutting plane on the floor or framing plan. Once you feel comfortable with the basic layout of the structure, examine the main section and look for basic materials used to construct the floor, walls, and roof assemblies. Next, compare the main section to the other sections and try to determine why the other sections were drawn. The sections may only show shape variation from one area of the building to another or additional sec-tions may be provided to show a variety of building materi-als. After determining some general knowledge of the structure relating to its shape and basic materials, you can search the sections for specific information.
