Side Elevations Compass directions are often used to
label elevations (North, South, East, West Elevations)
Exterior Elevations
Exterior Elevations - Features
Doors and Windows Roof slope and material Surface and trim materials Vertical distances and material notes
Exterior Elevations - Features

plan downward onto the developing elevation drawing
Vertical distances are projected from a scaled section
Elevations for working drawings do not include landscaping features
Exterior ElevationsConstruction Elements
Exterior Elevations - Symbols
Windows Doors Grade line Wall finish materials are shown in
simple symbols in scattered locations to prevent crowding
Roof features Materials notes
Exterior ElevationsCommon Surface Materials Brick Horizontal siding Vertical siding Stucco Stone Concrete Flashing Glass Roofing
Exterior Elevations - Symbols
Below-grade elements (footings, foundation wall, etc.) are drawn using hidden lines
Exterior ElevationsDimensioning Vertical distance from floor to ceiling (varies
according to client needs) Vertical distances from floor to tops of
windows and doors is usually 6’-8” Vertical distances to footings (from grade or
floors) Elevations that relate to the site topography Horizontal distances for roof overhangs Notes that specify wall and roof finish
materials Roof slope symbols showing rise and run
