--- which show the design of the project, include many parts, such as the floor plan, roof plan, elevation drawings, and section drawings.

Architectural plans

--- are the traditional name for construction drawings.

Blueprints

-- are solid or dashed lines showing the elevation of the earth on a civil drawing.

Contour lines

--- are enlarged views of some special features of a building, such as floors and walls.

Detail drawings

--- or engineered drawings for electrical supply and distribution, include locations of the electric meter, switchgear, and convenience outlets.

Electrical plans

Plans for gas, oil, or steam heat piping may be included in the --- plan.

HVAC

--- show the layout for the plumbing system that supplies hot and cold water, for the sewage disposal system, and for the location of plumbing fixtures.

Plumbing plans

--- are written statements provided by the architectural and engineering firm to define the quality of work to be done and to describe the materials to be used.

Specifications

--- support the architectural design of a building to show how the building is supported. A foundation plan would be part of this category.

Structural plan

A(n) --- is a qualified, licensed person who creates and designs drawings for a construction project.

An element of architectural drawings, --- refers to the height above sea level or other defined surface.

elevation (EL)

A(n) --- is a side view that shows height.

elevation drawing

A(n) --- is a person who applies scientific principles in design and construction.

engineer

fire protection plan

Also called a plan view, a(n) --- is an aerial view of the layout of each room.

floor plan

Part of the structural plans, --- the shows the lowest level of the building.

foundation plan

A(n) --- is a dashed line on a plan showing an object obstructed from view by another object.

hidden line

In drafting, an arrowhead is placed on a(n) --- to identify a component.

leader

The --- defines the symbols used in architectural plans.

--- are engineered plans for motors, pumps, piping systems, and piping equipment.

mechanical plans

The meter and millimeter are two common length measurements used with the --- on architectural drawings.

metric scale

When a plan is marked ---, it means that the drawing gives approximate positions and sizes only.

A(n) --- shows the shape of the roof and the materials that will be used to finish it.

roof plan

The --- of a drawing tells the size of the object drawn compared with the actual size of the object represented.

scale

A(n) --- is a one-line drawing showing the flow path for electrical circuitry or the relationship of all parts of a system.

schematic

A(n) --- is a cross-sectional view that shows the inside of an object or building.

section drawing

Architectural, civil and structural engineering, mechanical, and plumbing --- may be used on a drawing to tell what material is required for that part of the project.

symbol

Part of the construction drawing, the --- gives information about the structure and is numbered for easy filing.
