Drafting is a technical drawing used by designers to graphically present ideas and represent objects necessary for a designed environment. A set of these drafted illustrations is called a construction document (CD). There are common rules and standards to ensure that all designers are able to understand what is in the drawing. These design drawings use a graphic language to communicate each and every piece of information necessary to convey an idea and ultimately create a design. The following section of this handbook will help guide you through the common drafting standards that will be used in the Interior Design program at the University of Minnesota.  \nArchitectural drafting is basically pictorial images of buildings, interiors, details, or other items that need to be built. These are different from other types of drawings as they are drawn to scale, include accurate measurements and detailed information, and other information necessary to build a structure. These documents are graphic representations to communicate how to do the construction, remodeling, or installation of a design project. These include drawings for floor plans, elevations, sections, details, ceiling plans, finish schedules, and mechanical information such as electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, and heating plans.  \nTYPES OF DRAFTING  \nThere are three categories of drawings in interior design: process drawings (preliminary images, sketches, schematics, etc.), construction documents (drafted drawings, working drawings, plans, elevations, sections, details, etc.), and presentation drawings (illustrated sketches and three-dimensional views including perspectives, obliques, isometrics, etc.) . The main focus of this section is the drafted drawing of which there are also three different types: technical sketch, mechanical drafting, and CAD (computer-aided drafting). These all fall under the heading of architectural drafting as they each convey building detail in scale and use of a common graphic language.  \nTechnical Sketch  \nLike an artist may use sketches to develop ideas for a painting or sculpture, technical sketches are used during the development of ideas for initial or preliminary plans. The ability to make quick and accurate sketches is a valuable advantage that helps you convey design ideas to others. A sketch may be of an object, an idea of something you are thinking about, or a combination of both. Most of  \nus think of a sketch as a freehand drawing, which is not always the case. You may sketch on graph paper to take advantage of the lined squares, or you may sketch on plain paper with or without the help of drawing instruments. Technical sketches are drawn without mechanical aid, like a t-square, compass, or straight edge, but, like other forms of architectural drafting, are drawn to scale and contain a variety of line weights and line styles (Figure 1). The pencil or pen is guided by the hand ofthe drafter alone and this is usually done on trace paper over a 1/4\" grid paper. The grid paper becomes the guide helping to keep lines straight.  \nA technical sketch gives an idea that the design is still being developed","cbCaic3b0EmPWZqy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic3b0EmPWZqy","pdf",1113328,56,"English","# Introduction\n# Types of Drafting\n## Technical Sketch\n## Mechanical Drafting\n## Computer Drafting\n# Drafting Media\n## Lines and Line Quality\n## Line Types and Symbols\n# Types of Plans\n## Floor Plans and Elevation Drawings\n## Section and Detail Drawings\n## Schedules (Door, Window, Finish, Furniture)","[{\"question\":\"What does architectural drafting communicate in design work?\",\"answer\":\"Architectural drafting communicates building details and design information through a standardized graphic language.
