WALLS 1 TYPES & HATCHING

Drawing walls in plan and section requires a drafting language to be used.


For ALL elements cut through in section (as are plans and sections), the outline of the elements must be
drawn in BOLD, DARK lines to indicate the cut.

material representation using HATCH patterns


PRESENTATION or DESIGN DRAWINGS:
Fill in the walls in plan and section with dark solid colour (even black)

CONSTRUCTION or TECHNICAL, BUILDING DRAWINGS


Fill in the walls in plan and section with LINE PATTERNS (hatching) to represent the materials used
HATCHING is the process of applying specific line patterns to represent different materials used.
Note the different hatch patterns for BRICK, CONCRETE BLOCK, CONCRETE, TIMBER & STONE in the examples below.

BRICK CONCRETE BLOCK CONCRETE

"SOLID" brickwork being 2 attached CAVITY brickwork being 2 separate, free-standing


or bonded skins of bricks. skins of bricks tied together with stainless steel WALL TIES.
This type of wall is typically restricted This type of wall is now typically used in all "solid brick" houses
to OLD houses before the 1900s since the 1900s as it makes the wall waterproof
These will leak if not protected by The outer skin is wet and by not touching the inner skin,
cement or lime render, painted it remains dry

Rarely used today but stone can be used Block walls can be 100, 150 and 200 thick
as an outer OR inner wall skin in a cavity wall 100 & 150 blocks for internal wall skins used in a cavity wall

TIMBER STUD WALL being single framed wall BRICK VENEER being 2 separate, free-standing
needs external cladding of boards, skins with outer skin of bricks, inner skin timber STUD framing,
fibre-cement etc tied together with stainless steel WALL TIES.
needs internal lining of plasterboard,
plywood, fibre-cement etc This type of wall is now typically used in nearly all new houses
but is often erroneously called "a brick house"

WALLS 2 DRAWING WALLS (with window)

The DETAIL needed to be shown when drawing walls in plan and section varies with the scale used.
For large scaled details such as 1:20 much more detail is shown than the diagrammatic representation
at scale 1:100.

Examples of the degree of detail needed are shown below

1:100 scale walls

bare, DARK outlines. Hatch optional.


cavity shown in LIGHT lines

BRICK VENEER window in a wall CAVITY BRICK with window in a wall


note the outer sill and inner opening lines are note there must be CLEAR differentiation
MEDIUM LINES (not cut-through) between CUT WALL and not-cut SILLS

Window detail is a single line approx centred on the window


REVEAL (wall return into the window frame)

TIMBER-FRAMED wall with window

1:50 scale walls

DARK outlines. Hatch shown


cavity shown in LIGHT lines
individual studs optional in light lines

BRICK VENEER window in a wall CAVITY BRICK with window in a wall


again outer and inner opening lines and window detail are note there must be CLEAR differentiation
MEDIUM LINES (not cut-through) between CUT WALL and not-cut SILLS

OK! I know! The studs and window jamb are really cut
through but by showing them dark only gets to confuse the drawing.
Remember that CONTRAST is required for the drawing to "READ"

BRICK VENEER window in a wall
same detail as brick veneer but smaller
again outer and inner opening lines window frame is used and cement render
and window detail including architrave are
MEDIUM LINES (not cut-through) wall lining returns into opening reveal to meet frame
and timber cover mould used to cover joint
storm NOTE window frame shown about 10-20 clear of wall frame
mould to allow tolerance for installation
weatherboard
in all cases...line weight chosen is to allow good definition between
window in detail cut-through and "seen below" objects
stud wall
if your window frame objects are all shown dark, the drawing
plasterboard becomes harder to read...so your own judgement is to be applied
architrave architrave below

TIMBER-FRAMED wall with window always ask me if you are unsure


of anything on these sheets

WALLS 3 CONSTRUCTION scale 1:10

weep holes are open


vertical brick joints

water to be flashed

NOTE

this is an example of a "break line"


where the repeated elements are cut
leaving only the important details, in
this case, SILL & HEAD
