Autocad 2d and sketchup 3d drawings

I am an Architlctrect cum civil engineer .  Expereinced in architectural (plan, elevation, section ) , interior drawings and structural drawings.

Types of Architectural Drawings

1. Floor Plans: These are horizontal section views that show the layout of rooms, walls, windows, doors, and other elements from above. Floor plans are essential for understanding the spatial organization of a structure.

2. Elevations: Elevation drawings depict the exterior or interior vertical surfaces of a building. They show the height, design, and appearance of the building’s façade and are used to convey aesthetic and structural details.

3. Sections: A section drawing represents a cut-through view of a building, revealing internal features such as wall thickness, floor levels, and construction materials. It helps in understanding the relationships between different building elements.

4. Site Plans: These illustrate the overall layout of a building in its environment, including landscape elements, pathways, parking, and surrounding structures. Site plans help in planning the integration of the building with its context.

5. Detail Drawings: These are highly detailed drawings of specific components, such as window frames, staircases, or joinery. They are used to communicate precise construction or fabrication information.

6. Perspective and 3D Drawings: These visualizations provide a more realistic view of the building, helping clients and stakeholders understand the design more intuitively.

Purpose and Importance

Architectural drawings serve multiple purposes:

• Design Development: They allow architects to explore and refine ideas.

• Communication: They convey complex technical information to engineers, clients, and contractors.

• Documentation: They form part of the legal and regulatory documentation needed for permits and approvals.

• Construction: They guide builders during the construction phase, ensuring accuracy and adherence to design.
