Things to be Considered in Drafting Elevations:
For Preliminary Sketches:
1. Proportion – which deals with the size and shape of
areas and their relation to one another.
2. Fenestration – deals with the arrangements of windows
and doors in a wall.
3. Harmony – refers to all features that should harmonize
to present a uniform elevation.
4. Shadows refer to a simple elevation, which can become
interesting when designed to take advantage
of shadows.

Things to be Considered in Drafting
Elevations:
For Finished Sketches:
1. Window and Door Size – must be chosen from a
manufacturers catalog which offers great variety of sizes.
However, it must conform with the size and style of the
house.
2. Window and Door are drawn to scale using the simplest
feature.
3. Material Representation – may be shown by drawing only
a few lines, like bricks.

Things to be Considered in Drafting Elevations:
For Finished Sketches:
4. Footings and Walls hidden lines are used to indicate the
location of footings.
5. Labeling of the views can be done in two methods: views

6. Dimensions on elevations are limited to vertical dimensions
are shown on the plan.
7. Changes if any, are necessary after all the other drawings
have been completed.
