Booth layout, construction layout  \n• Architects still use hand sketching for original design allowing for imagination and experimentation  \nHandling of Plans and Drawings  \nIt is always important to handle Follow these Precautions:  \n1. NEVER write on a plan unless you have been authorized to make changes  \n2. Keep plans clean and free of oil and dirt.  \n3. DO NOT fold plans, carefully roll them.  \n4. DO NOT lay sharp tools or pointed objects on them.  \n5. Lay plans in a safe, secure place.  \n6. Store plans in a clean, dry place.  \n10","cbCaij7s2IbBMIGH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij7s2IbBMIGH","pdf",1938143,45,"English","# Introduction\n## Architectural Drawings\n# Learning Objectives\n# Learning Outcomes\n# What is a Blueprint?\n## Class Exercise\n# Blueprint Reading (4HR)\n## Blueprint Production/Reproduction\n## Handling of Plans and Drawings\n## Precautions","[{\"question\":\"What is blueprint reading and what does it help you do?\",\"answer\":\"Blueprint reading is the process of interpreting a drawing.
