Elevator Plans and Elevations

Layout and Organization

• Detail pages are organized non-standardly.
  • Standard layout: top right to down, then working left.
  • Additional Details: Consider the user's natural reading direction and how the non-standard layout might affect information retrieval. Highlight any strategies used to mitigate confusion.

Enlarged Plan and Sections

• Enlarged plan referenced in area one.
• Partial section through elevators is present.
• Sections indicate direction (up or looking that way).
  • Additional Details: Elaborate on the purpose of indicating direction in sections. How does this aid in understanding spatial relationships within the building?

Dimensioning and Referencing

• Dimensioning anchored to the structural grid.
• Subsequent dimensions hitch to the same point.
• Callouts come from the legend.
  • Additional Details: Explain the benefits of anchoring dimensions to the structural grid. How does this method ensure accuracy and consistency throughout the drawings?

Upper-Level Details

• Anchoring to the grid persists.
• Wall section and detailed references included.
• Enlarged reference plan indicated (image 13 on page a720).
  • Additional Details: Describe the types of information typically found in wall sections. Why is it important to include detailed references in upper-level drawings?

Roof Level

• Exterior elevation is present (image eight on sheet a711).
• Revision bubbles indicate changes (revision number one).
  • Additional Details: Discuss the significance of including exterior elevations in roof level drawings. How do revision bubbles help in tracking changes and ensuring accuracy?

Sections and Elevations

• Section across the elevators shown.
• Datum call out for elevation at the top of the elevator.
• Dimensions to the top of the low parapet.
• Detail at the core wall typical (detail 11 on a711).
  • Additional Details: Explain the importance of datum call-outs in sections and elevations. How do these references aid in understanding the building's vertical dimensions?

Consistency

• Dimensional consistency and referencing are crucial.
• Vertical sections should be shown on all images.
  • Additional Details: Elaborate on the consequences of dimensional inconsistencies in architectural drawings. Provide examples of how these inconsistencies can lead to errors during construction.
