WEEKLY REFLECTION

As we continue to work on the final documentation of one of our current residential projects, I’ve been learning how to go about methodically layering information onto a drawing in order to ensure it reads clearly and coherently. I never considered something so simple as dimensioning would have a technique to it; working in a clockwise manner and considering if each dimension is necessary to the understanding and construction of the project as I look at it from a builders point of view. Working in layers throughout the whole set also minimizes the chance of error and helps maintain a consistency amongst all the drawings. So if ever we have to reach a quick stopping point to review the set, all the drawings are at the same level of detail. So while it may be easy to go about mindlessly clicking on the computer while completing such a redundant task, it’s important to take a step back and think about the job at hand and the bigger picture.
