Chapter 45
Structural Drafting

Introduction• This chapter introduces basic concepts and
drawing methods – Expected of an entry-level drafter in an
architect’s or engineer’s office– Refer to the text for a project example
• Main objectives: to coordinate various plans and to draw coordinated details that correspond to different areas of the building
![Page 3: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Plan the Drawing• Plan views for similarities
– Start with the floor plan • Get a general understanding of the structure
– Move to upper level and work to lowest• Shows loads that must be supported as work
progresses (e.g., beams of roof supported by columns, pedestals on slab plan, and footings at foundation)
![Page 4: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Plan the Drawing (cont’d.)• As you work on various plans, study details
that relate to the plan– Gives a better understanding
• Should result in faster drawing production
![Page 5: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings
• Calculations – Mathematical solutions to particular problems– Printed following related problem
• Drafter is given a set of specifications and is expected to determine the goal of the engineer
• Then translates results into working drawings• Typically means skipping over math work
![Page 6: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Sketches – Provided by an engineer
• Tools to help solve calculations• Drafter uses them as a guide to determine size and
material to be used
![Page 7: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Drafter is expected to study similar jobs and details for common elements – Common notes – Common connection methods– Also expected to consult vendors’ catalogs for
specific details of prefabricated material
![Page 8: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Drawing layout methods– Group all plan views together
• Then all roof details, all concrete details, and so on, in the same order of plan views
– Group a plan view with all related details• Show roof plan and then roof details• Show slab plan and then slab details
![Page 9: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Methods of assembling a project– Drafters in architectural and structural firms
typically work with CADD• Well-suited to CADD drafting because of layering
possibilities
– Develop a base drawing • Use external referencing to bind material to base
drawing

Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Refer to the text for a list of common commercial layer names including:– Civil drawing layer names– Architectural layer names– Structural layers
![Page 11: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Annotation– Important factors to considered before placing
text:• Who will use the drawing• Information the text is to define• Scale factor of the text
![Page 12: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Annotation (cont’d.)– Text placement
• Location of text relative to drawing and within drawing file
• Text orientation should be parallel to bottom or parallel to right edge of the page
• Text is generally placed within inches of the object• Much of the text used can be standardized and
placed in a template drawing
![Page 13: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Annotation (cont’d.)– Text placement (cont’d.)
• On details, text can be placed within the detail if large open spaces are part of the drawing
• It is preferable to keep text out of the drawing• Text should be aligned to enhance clarity • Text should be placed on a layer with a major group
code of ANNO
![Page 14: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Annotation (cont’d.)– Types of text
• Title• General notes (e.g., project, discipline, sheet,
reference keynotes)• Simplified keynotes• Local notes
![Page 15: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Managing drawings at multiple scales– Drawing sheets can be assembled for plotting
using layouts and viewports• Each time you enter a layout, you’re working with a
floating viewport• Allows you to look through the paper and see the
drawing in model space • Displays drawing in layout for plotting
![Page 16: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Procedure–From Calculations to Working Drawings (cont’d.)
• Detail coordination– As you draw each detail, provide room for:
• Title• Scale• Detail marker under detail
![Page 17: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Order of Precedence• Text project (refer to the text):
– Includes sketches and engineer’s calculations– Has some very large errors
• Helps you to learn to think as a drafter• If you find an error, do not make changes until you
have discussed them with the engineer (instructor)
![Page 18: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Order of Precedence (cont’d.)• Follow this order of precedence:
– Written changes by engineer (instructor) as change orders
– Verbal changes given by engineer (instructor)– Engineer’s calculations
• Information written in goals, project, and method is more reliable than sketches
![Page 19: Chapter 45](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813025550346895d95ab41/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Order of Precedence (cont’d.)• Follow this order of precedence (cont’d.):
– Sketches by the engineer (text)– Lecture notes and sketches– Your own decision
• Should it come to this, check with your instructor
