It describes why measured drawings are valuable for capturing information that cannot be conveyed through text alone, including correct proportions and the ability to de-emphasize later, nonessential alterations. The guidance covers the balance between completeness and available resources, notes that measurement can be done by hand or through photogrammetry, and acknowledges human error and the cost of producing drawings. It also emphasizes annotation and the role of plans, sections, and details.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/historic-american-buildings-survey-part-ix-measured-drawings-general/649439/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/historic-american-buildings-survey-part-ix-measured-drawings-general/649439.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Pentious","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-25","2026-10-23",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":14},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is a measured drawing in the HABS manual?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"A measured drawing is an accurate, scale drawing showing what is actually there, based on measurements of the subject.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Why are measured drawings important compared with photos or written notes?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Measured drawings record proportions correctly and present measurable information, including details that cannot be described effectively in photographs.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How does the manual treat completeness and available resources?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Completeness is relative; the number of drawing sheets should match available money, time, and personnel, guided by the structure’s importance.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},649439,1792898911,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":14,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},1374404730887,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","Manual of the  \nHistoric American Buildings Survey  \n# PART IXMEASURED DRAWINGS\n\nRevised illustrated draft 300cy 10/61compiled by HARLEY J McKEE architect  \ne a s tern office/division of design &construction/national park s ervice  \nPART VIII - MEASURED DRAWINGS  \nA.
