DIRECTIONS:

1. Read all instructions carefully before you begin.

2. Use an 8 1/2" × 11" vellum or bond paper drawing sheet for each drawing or lettering exercise.

3. Use the architect’s scale of 1/4" = 1'–0" for each drawing.

4. Draw the floor plan described in Problem 1 twice. On the first drawing, use thick lines for the walls and thin lines for extension, dimension, and symbol lines. On the second drawing, make all lines the same thickness. Each drawing represents a line thickness technique discussed in this chapter.

5. Use guidelines for all lettering. Using architectural lettering, letter the title FLOOR PLAN; center it below the drawing in 1/4"-high letters. In 1/8"-high letters and centered below the title, letter the following: SCALE: 1/4" = 1'–0". Letter your name and all other notes and dimensions using 1/8" high architectural lettering.

6. Lightly lay out the drawing using construction lines. When you are satisfied with the layout, darken all lines.

7. For the lettering exercise, use 1/8" guidelines with 1/8" space between the lines.

8. Leave a 3/4" minimum margin around the lettering exercise sheet.

9. Make a diazo print or photocopy of your original drawings or lettering exercise sheet as specified by your instructor.

10. Submit your copies and originals for evaluation and grading, unless otherwise specified by your instructor.

11. Problems can be completed manually or with CADD, or both, depending on your specific course objectives and instructions. Confirm this with your instructor.

Problem 1

Lines and lettering. Given the following information, draw the garage floor plan:

1. Overall dimensions are 24'−0" × 24'−0". Dimensions are measured to the outside of walls.

2. Make all walls 4" thick.

3. Center a 16'−0" wide garage door in the front wall.

4. Using dashed lines, draw a 4 × 12 header over the garage door and label it 4 × 12 HEADER with a leader from the note and pointing to the header.

5. Label the garage floor 4" CONC OVER 4" GRAVEL FILL. Use a leader.
