Alphabet of Lines

• Technologically Literate
• Alphabet of Lines
• Construction Line
• Visible Object Line
• Hidden Line
• Center Line
• Extension Line
• Dimension Line
• Handout Alphabet of Lines

5
Sketching

• Process
• Freehand Sketching
• Rulers and Scales
• CAD (Computer Aided Drafting)

6
Freehand Sketching

• No Rulers
• Start light
• Gradually get darker (harder to erase)
• Quick and not to scale

11
Review Activity

• Using the provided shapes create three (3)
• Orthographic Projections
• Isometric Projections

12
Scale and Units

• Correctly Interpret Units of Measurement and
  Scale
• Unit of measure
• any standardized, reproducible unit that can be
  used to measure
• Metric mm, cm, m, km
• Imperial in, foot, yard, mile

• Drawings sometimes have to show objects too large
  or too small to fit on a piece of paper.
• To show them on paper accurately we use a scale.
• Scale
• the ratio between the size of something and a
  representation of it
• Ex. 1 12 (1 inch drawn 12 (foot) in real
  life)

15
Examples

• In the imperial system, a typical scale for a
  house plan is 1/4 inch on the drawing represents
  1 foot in the real world.
• For a metric drawing a scale can be 110, 120,
  150.

16
Points to Remember

• Most drawings use a scale
• While the scale can have any ratio, there are
  standard ratios used for most drawings,
  especially for buildings.
• Scale ensures that drawings are an accurate
  representation of the object.
• While dimensions are placed on most drawings,
  sometimes it is easier to just measure the
  drawing and convert to the actual size using the
  scale.

17
Activity

• Using the grid supplied create three scale
  drawings
• The shop (top view)
• The Computer Lab (top view)
• An object around the room (not simple squares,
  triangles, or circles) (ortho and Iso)
• Label your scale (ex. 1 block 12)

18
Floor Plans

• You will create and interpret floor plans
• We will take your skills with orthographic and
  isometric projections and apply them to building
  schematics and blueprints
• A floor plan is a top view of a building that has
  been cut horizontally about halfway up the wall.

19
continued

• These plans will vary greatly from house to
  house, depending on the specific needs and
  preferences of the inhabitants.
• Usually shows at least walls, windows, doors, and
  stairs
• A blueprint is a more detailed, exact scale
  drawing of your plan.
• A foundation drawing shows the basic structural
  support of a home, its foundation.
• Handout Sample Floorplan 1-2, and Foundation

20
Activity 1

• Look at the floor plan on the next slide and as a
  class answer the following questions
• What is the width of the room?
• What is the depth (long side) of the room?
• How many windows are shown?
• How many doors are shown?

22
Activity 2

• Using Handout Floor Plan, Scale
• Fill in ALL of the missing dimensions
• If time permits create a floor plan of one floor
  in your own house from memory.

23
Elevations

• Two Dimensional (2D) drawing of a home or
  building shown from the front or the side.
• You will use your skills with orthographic
  projections to make elevation drawings.

24
continued

• Elevation drawings show surface details and
  finish materials
• location of windows, doors, stairs, etc.
• siding, brick, roofing, cabinetry, etc
• They show the appearance and position of various
  elements of the structure.
• Part of the planning process of residential
  construction.
• Floor plans provide general horizontal placement,
  but elevation views will help determine vertical
  placement and overall appearance.

25
Activity

• Create a scale elevation drawing of one of the
  walls in the shop and the computer lab.
• Include any doors, cabinets, surface details
  (brick, texture, etc), windows, etc that are
  present.
• Identify your scale on the drawing.
