This Architectural Drawing is of Section Drawing of a House. A section drawing is one that shows a vertical cut transecting, typically along a primary axis, an object or building. A sectional view or a section looks inside an object. Sections are used to clarify the interior construction of a part that cannot be clearly described by hidden lines in exterior views. By taking an imaginary cut through the object and removing a portion, the inside features may be seen more clearly. One particularly useful type of drawing is what's called an architectural “section.” It's the drawing of a vertical cut through a building or an area of a building. The purpose of a section is to show, graphically, the main volumes of the building and the main building material components. In terms of design, the term 'section' typically refers to a view of a structure as though it has been sliced in half or cut along another imaginary plane, which is generally, but not always a vertical plane. This is represented as a 'section drawing' or 'sectional drawing'. For more detail and information download the Drawing file.
