Angel24 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Hello everyone, My name is Angel and I am a Cad student. I founded it very interesting and I am very eager to learn. I am currently doing a proyect and I have been told to do a cross section of a floorplan. I do not know what a cross section is so I am stock or what to do... Can anyone help me ? I'm using AutoCad 2010 Quote
GE13579 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 A cross section is a view as if you slice something in half, so you would be looking at ground level as opposed to a birds eye view as is the plan. Quote
ReMark Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 You must have a textbook for this course you're taking. It doesn't have an example of a cross-section? Do you need references? You're aware that the view that you sketch up will be dependent upon where your section line falls on the floor plan right? Quote
Angel24 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 Thank you so much guys, your answers lead me in the right direction and I now have my answers. Thanks again ! Quote
nocturne00 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Note: Cross Section- Sectional View along the short side of a Floor Plan, as opposed to Longitudinal section w/c is taken from the longer side of the FP. as Remark has stated, This is all standard in Drafting textbooks Quote
ReMark Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Angel: I see you're here in the U.S. Beg, borrow or buy a copy of either/or both of the following: Architectural Graphic Standards by Ramsey & Sleeper. Architectural Drafting and Design by Jefferis & Madden. Quote
nicolas Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Hi, There are actually two cross-section some way along the longitudinal or lateral sides of the building that you can call A-A or BB respectively. When you slice along the floor you will have to represent the floor, columns, beams and slab with some hatching materials say solid (for simplicity) or concrete (with scale set up to 600 approx) and the block wall a different but standard hatch (which also need scale set up to 600 to 800 approx) shading. You will also have an interior view of the building. You don't necessarily need to input the furniture but you may have to include beam lines, interior column/wall edges and windows boundaries, separation and glazing. Hope this help. Nicolas. Quote
