DESIGN - DRAWINGS - ELEVATIONS

Let us go on a drawing excursion!

An ELEVATION is the most intuitive way to show an item. It is the walls of a space.

An elevation of an outside of a building is a quick way of presenting information

Leonie has a play with an elevation!

They are also useful for client presentations

If you ask a young child to draw their room, they will usually draw in elevation without perspective - as did primitive man.

To draw an ELEVATION, extend the line up from the plan

Then fill in the walls, doors and windows that you can see on that side of the house - add the roof.

Elevations are useful within the working drawing set as it shows heights.

It is easy to print off an elevation and colour it to show a client.
