Drafting Flashcards
A system of representing the way that objects appear to get smaller and closer together the further away they are in the scene.
Perspective Drawing
-Runs across the canvas at the eye level of the viewer
- Is where the sky appears to meet the ground
Horizon Line
-where all parallel lines that run towards the horizon line appear to come together
Vanishing Point
-are “visual rays” helping the viewer’s eye to connect points around the edges of the canvas to the vanishing point
Receding Lines
Kinds of Perspective
A drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single vanishing point on the horizon line.
One Points Perspective
Kinds of Perspective
A drawing method in which the sides of the object vanish to one of two vanishing points on the horizon.
Two-Point Perspective / Angular Perspective
Different Viewpoints
An elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer is a bird, often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans, and maps.
Bird’s-eye view
Different Viewpoints
A view of a object from below, as though the observer is a worm. It can b used to look up to something to make an object tall, strong and mighty while the viewer feels child-like or powerless
Worms eye view
Different Viewpoints
A view of the landscape as seen by a person, especially from a specified position
Man’s eye view
view of a building showing its height dimension
Elevation
-which deals with the size and shape of areas and their relation to one another.
Proportion
-deals with the arrangements of windows and doors in a wall
Fenestration
refers to all features that should harmonize to present a uniform elevation
Harmony
refer to a simple elevation, which can become interesting when designed to take advantage of shadows.
Shadows
Procedure in drafting elevations:
1.Lay-out the elevation very lightly using a sharp, hard pencil. Using a divider or a scale, transfer horizontal dimensions from the floor plan. A scale of _ or _ meter is used and indicated in the title block or near the drawing.
1: 100 or 1:50
Procedure in drafting elevations:
Locate the vertical distance of the ceiling from the floor line (1._), ridge to the ceiling line (2.) and the finished ground line to the finished floor line, indicating also the height of doors (3. m) and windows (4.m).
- 3.00
- 2.50
- 2.10
- 1.10
Procedure in drafting elevations:
Indicate the _ of walls, fascia board and other materials seen on elevation and darken the lines to highlight them.
thickness
It is the external upper covering of a house or building. It shows the size, shape and the type of materials that should be used in the roofing system.
Roof
part of a roof that projects over a wall.
eave
is the horizontal distance that a roof projects beyond a wall.
Overhang
is a surface finish material used to cover another surface.
fascia
is the top edge of the roof where rafters meet.
ridge
is the internal angle formed by two slopes of a roof.
Valley
_ roofs has a pitch on two sides but no pitch on the gable ends.
