Constructing Journal Week 8 Tutorial 1:1 Scale Drawing of Section Detail The section detail I was given draw out in 1:1 size can be seen to the left (Fig.1) Unfortunately there was no link back in the series of drawings we were given to a larger scale section, so it was very hard to translate the 1:5 scale into its 1:1 scale.
I discovered that the bricks used in this detail were slim line as I looked up brick sizes and scaled off the section detail to find that the size was approximately similar to those on the section detail.

PINK is the beam on the section detail. In real life it looks like the image to the left (Fig. 4)
Things often look different on the section detail then in real life and this has become evident when I came to drawing the 1:1 as measurements were completely different. Figure 2 shows a purlin which can be seen in BLUE and it looks Figure 5 - Very Light totally different than it does in the section detail. I found it good to acknowledge this as it made me understand what I was looking at better.
