Civil Engineering Floor Plan Guide

This document discusses various types of engineering drawings used in building design including floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D drawings. A floor plan is a horizontal section cut approximately 4 feet above the floor to show the layout and features of a building. Elevations represent the external faces of a building projected on a vertical plane. Sections show the internal structure of a building through a vertical cut. 3D drawings combine multiple views to depict the overall form and dimensions of a design.

CIVIL ENGINEERING DRAWING

CHAPTER – 7
WHAT IS FLOOR PLAN?

A plan is a horizontal section through an


object.  For a building we typically take this
section about four feet off the floor.  That way
we can capture any windows in the section
and better comprehend the nature of the
space within the building. 
Continue

• Plan is :
• A horizontal view that is the result of
‘cutting’ through the object/space
horizontally, to reveal what is below
the cut.
ELEVATIONS

• Elevation: a drawing or design that


represents an object or structure as
being projected geometrically on a
vertical plane parallel to one of its sides.
SECTION

Section: usually, but not always,


meaning ‘vertical section’. A vertical cut
through an object or space to reveal the
thicknesses of the objects that have been
cut, such as walls in a building.
