60. Each new day of drafting the same floor plan, you must square the bottom edge of your drawing paper to the drawing board.61. All lines on your architectural drawings should start out as layout lines, drawn with a #2 pencil.62. Even if layout lines are drawn the proper weight, in the end you must erase them because they will clutter your drawing.63. 1” on the ¼”-scale is larger than 1” on the 16-scale.64. When drawing an elevation, projection lines are to be drawn before the elevation’s horizontal lines.65. When drawing, always push your pencil, do not pull it.66. The drawing below is an example of a floor plan.

67. Floor plans are usually drawn at a scale of 1/8”=1’-0”.68. Distances are usually stated in feet and inches on an architectural drawing.69. The distance between guidelines in a title block is 3/8”.70. The basic unit of one foot is divided in 16 subdivisions on the architect’s scale.71. The dining room should be adjacent to the kitchen.72. Elevation drawings show a vanishing point based on perspective (realistic 3-dimensional viewing).73. The Den is considered part of the living area.74. Elevation drawings more closely resemble the way a building looks in reality than perspective drawings. 75. Constructing a model of a floor plan requires use of the floor plan.76. When drawing, always push your pencil, do not pull it.77. The Situation Statement is usually in the form of a chart.78. The Needs/Wants list typically follows the Situation Statement in the design process.79. The kitchen sink should be under a window.80. Bedrooms should be in the noisiest part of the house.81. A floor plan can be designed before consideration of the site.82. On the exterior elevation drawing the floor line is expressed with an object line.83. A residential design should start with the design of the elevation.84. Room size is irrelevant when designing a floor plan.85. A water heater provides heat through the ventilation system in the winter.86. In an elevation drawing, the two dashed lines identifying a hinge on a door intersect on the same side of the door as the knob. 87. Designing and creating an architectural project utilizes the engineering design process.88. The bottom line of an elevation drawing is the floor line.89. On floor plans, arched doorways are represented with object lines.
