Drawing the Elevation You will develop your elevation drawing through correspondence with the plan(s) and/or section(s). Choose the main elevation of the building. There are two ways that you can set up your construction layout: 1. Follow Francis Ching’s method of arranging orthographic views (pp. 137- 142). Place your plan above your blank sheet of paper (upon which you will be drawing the elevation), and your section(s) to the side of the elevation drawing area. Draw corresponding lines vertically down from the plan to derive widths of windows, doors, etc. in your elevation; draw corresponding lines horizontally across from your sections to derive heights.
