Use oriented drawing
Architectural elevations are like friendly snapshots of a building’s exterior from different angles—front, sides, back, and sometimes more! They show what the house or structure will look like, including windows, doors, roofs, and other features, and can also include existing conditions elevations to capture the current state of a site or building before any changes. Think of them as a helpful guide to help builders, designers, and homeowners picture the final look, plan details, or assess what’s already there. They can range from simple sketches to detailed drawings, depending on your needs!
