  1. Title Block
    1. 1/2” margins all around – no area of drawing extending closer than 1/2” from any edge of sheet;  borderless drawing area (light layout lines only); outline around title block information described below)
    2. Design firm (logo optional), your name, and fictitious address (any size to fit in title block width); place near the top of vertical title block or left of horizontal format title block
    1. An area labeled (1/8” high): “Project”, placed near either top or bottom
      In this area, place the project title: “      DETACHED GUEST COTTAGE”, minimum 1/8” high text, (on typical job, address included).
    2. An area labeled (1/8” high): “DESCRIPTION”, placed near sheet number
      Description of the drawing type or information included on the sheet (potentially in two or three lines, minimum 1/8” high text):

§         CONSTRUCTION PLAN & ELEVATION DRAWINGS

    1. Areas labeled (1/16” high): “DATE”, “SCALE:”, “DRAWN BY”, placed near “DESCRIPTION” (allow for a single line of 1/8” high text to be placed in each area, that is, the actual date, scale, etc.)
    2. North arrow, in 1/4” to 1/2” circle, labeled “Reference North”. True north may not match the plan orientation exactly; this makes it easier to label directions.
    1. An area labeled “DRAWING NO.” Allow for 1/4” to 1/2” high sheet numbers. Place this at the very bottom right of the title block so it is the first thing seen when the sheets are pulled back to search for the drawing numbers

  2. Paraline Drawing: Cottage exterior or kitchen (either entire room or selected cabinetry) included with other drawings on either the Conceptual or the Construction drawing sheets

Extra Credit Assessment

·         MAXIMUM points: additional 0.3 maximum points added to final number grade on 12 pt. scale (for example: total points of required assignment equals 8.4 and maximum credit given for excellent completion of both extra credit assignments adds .6 pt, raising the grade to 9.0).

·         Grading Scale for Extra Credit Paraline and Building Section Drawings:

§         A+/A                      12-11 points      + .3

§         A-/B+/B/B-                        10-7 points        + .2
