 Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE 9 – Technical Drafting Module on Elevation Dimensioning/Rules

in Dimensioning!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local
Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Vico Sotto. The
writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social, and
economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.

LESSON

Elevation Dimensioning

Dimensions on elevation show the vertical distance from a datum line,

which is a reference line that remains constant. Dimensions on elevation
show the height above the datum or the ground line. Dimensioning elevations
must conform to basic standards to ensure consistency of interpretation.

Below are some rules in dimensioning:

1. Vertical elevation dimensions should be read from the right of the
drawing.
2. Levels to be dimensioned should labeled with a note, term or
abbreviation.
3. Room heights are shown by dimensioning from the floor line to the
ceiling line.
4. The depth of footings (“footer”) is dimensioned from the ground line.
5. Heights of windows and doors are dimensioned from the floor line to
the top of windows or doors.
6. Elevation dimensions show only vertical distances (height). Horizontal
distances (length and width) are shown in the floor plan.
7. Windows and doors may be indexed to a door or window schedule. The
style of the windows and doors may be shown on the elevation drawing.
8. The roof pitch is shown by indicating the rise over the run.
9. Dimensions for small, complex or obscure areas should be indexed to
a separate detail.
10. Ground-line elevations are expressed as heights above the datum
point.
11. Heights of chimneys above the ridge line are dimensioned.
12. Floor and ceiling lines are shown using hidden lines.
13. Heights of planters and walls are dimensioned from the ground line.
14. Thickness of slabs are dimensioned.

5|Page
 15. Overall height dimensions are placed on the outside of sub-
dimensions.
16. Thickness of footings are dimensioned.

ACTIVITIES

DRAFT ELEVATIONS
Directions: Draft elevations based on the given floor plan by following the
suggested procedures below.
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 1: 100 or 1:50 meter is used and indicated in the title block
or near the drawing. If the plan and section are drawn to the same
scale as the required elevation, the floor plan may be taped in position
and dimension projected directly using triangle and T-square.

Windows and door are located horizontally by projecting from the

plan, They are located vertically by projecting from the window and
door details or simply by aligning the top of the window with the top
of the door.

2. Locate the vertical distance of ceiling from floor line, ridge to ceiling
line and natural ground to finished ground line. Indicate also the
height of doors and windows.

3. Indicate the thickness of walls, fascia board and other materials seen
on elevation and darken the lines to highlight them.

4. Draw the elevation details and other architectural materials.

The elevation details to be included will vary depending on the style of

the house. In the case of a residence, the following details are added:

4.1 roof fascia

4.2 window representation
4.3 gradelines
4.4 material representation
4.5 finishing materials, door and windows, moldings, rain gutter

6|Page
 5. Indicate the dimension of the vertical distance from the natural
ground line to the floor line and the floor line ceiling, and ceiling line
to ridge line.

Added elevation dimensions and notes are:

5.1 height of roof

5.2 height of other features such as masonry wall
5.3 height of wall
5.4 roof slope indication
5.5 window schedule 5.6 title and notes indicating materials

Note: You can use the same evaluation instrument used in Summative Assessment in
Lesson 6 or your teacher will provide other assessment tool.

Accuracy = 30%

Sectioning

The designer shows the internal construction of a building by means of

a section.

Section drawings are prepared to show the interior details of a structure. They
are needed to guide the construction. Interior elevation drawings givethe
builders an idea on how to construct and install special features of a home.
These features include closets, cabinets, bathtubs and other special details.

Techniques for preparing interior elevation drawings are the same as for
exterior elevations. Use a floor plan to locate key vertical lines after horizontal
dimensions have been indicated.

Technical Terms

Section- a type of drawing which shows the interior or inside of a building

or structure.
Cross section- a type of section where the cutting-plane line is drawn
horizontally.
Longitudinal section- a type of section where the cutting-plane is drawn
vertically.
Cutting plane line- a heavy line which shows the exact location where the
plan is cut

The following are the types of sections used in architectural drafting:

1. Structural section- shows the entire building construction. This is

useful in planning for structural strength and rigidity, determining the
length of members and specifying sizes

8|Page
 2. Detail section- shows any deviation from a typical section. It is drawn
to a larger scale.

3. Wall section- shows the construction of a typical wall. This section is

useful in determining sizes and material specification for all rough
members.

9|Page
 Full Sections Architects prepare drawings that show the building cut in to
half to show the internal structure. This is known as longitudinal section,
meaning lengthwise. When it is cut across, it is called transverse section. It
is imagined that a plane is passed through the building cutting it in half by a
cutting plane line.

There are different ways of drawing the cutting plane line, most especially if
it interferes with dimensions as shown in these figures:

 ACTIVITIES

DRAFT SECTION
Directions: To enhance your skills in drawing sectional views, use the given
floor plan below. You are required to draw the following
sections: the cross or traverse section and the longitudinal
section. Do it in a separate sheet of drawing paper. Ask the
assistance of your teacher if you meet some difficulty. Trust
yourself… you can do it!

1. From the given plan, indicate the path of the imaginary cutting plane
along the floor plan. Indicate the position of the line of sight or
viewing by means of arrow heads (Section "A-A").
2. Transfer horizontal dimension from the floor plan to the section using
a metric scale with appropriate scale ratio.

13 | P a g e
 3. Indicate the vertical dimensions from the ground line to the floor line,
the ceiling line and the ridge line using the standard vertical
dimension as 153 provided in the low cost housing regulations. The
standard dimensions are 2.80 m. from the floor line to ceiling line and
1.20 m. to 1.80 m. from ceiling line to the top of the ridge.
4. Draw the outline of the building using the measurements as marked
on the paper.
5. Darken the outline and draw section lines on portions of the building
that come in contact with the cutting plane.
6. Finalize the drawing by labeling it.
7. Repeat the same procedure for the cross section drawing. Change the
position of the cutting-plane line (use Section "B-B"). Use the same
floor plan below.
