| A copy of a construction drawing | |
| Architectural symbol | A symbolic representation of a building element used on drawings showing its placement in relationship to other elements in the structure. |
| Section view | A portion of the set of construction plans that shows a section or cut through of the structure. (Imagine how a five-layer cake looks when you slice it. You see the outer frosting, but also each layer and the frosting between the layers.) In a section vie |
| Detail view: | This view shows a detail of the plan that has been magnified for closer inspection of its construction elements. This aids the contractor in knowing the specific details the architect wished to include in the construction of the structure. |
