Creation of the model should include choosing a scale and using the floor and foundation plans, sections, and elevations at the same scale as references for
- using the floor plan as an underlay to locate walls and openings (physical model)
- laying out the walls and openings to scale
- setting wall height, using section views
- setting roof style and slope, using section views
- applying wall covering, as specified by elevations
- adding components, as required by the owner’s or builder’s desired level of detail.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What materials may be used to construct a physical presentation model?
- How is the information from the floor and foundation plans, sections, and elevations combined to construct a physical or CADD presentation model?
- What benefit would a CADD or physical model offer when making a presentation to a client?
- How can elevations be used to create a house model?
