Experiment 5 - Preparing Plan - Elevation and Section of a Load-Bearing Residential Building

Oct 29, 2026

Upload by Ben

Experiment 5 focuses on drafting an accurate plan (top view), elevation (front view), and section (cut view) of a simple load-bearing wall residential house. The workflow covers drawing exterior and interior walls, placing doors and windows with blocks, and marking all dimensions and levels. Students then create an elevation that includes openings and exterior finish, produce a section showing wall thickness plus floor and roof, annotate key elements, and save the CAD file. The conclusion links the learned drafting skills to civil engineering applications.
