Where would you look to find the size, type and hardware for each numbered door on a project?

  1. The site plan
  2. The title block
  3. The door schedule
  4. The revision block
Show the answer

C. The door schedule

A schedule is a table that lists items such as doors, windows or finishes by mark number with their sizes and types. The title block identifies the sheet, not the items on it.

What is the purpose of a detail drawing?

  1. To show a small part at a larger scale
  2. To show the whole site at a small scale
  3. To list the materials for the whole job
  4. To record changes made after the bid
Show the answer

A. To show a small part at a larger scale

A detail enlarges one piece of the work, such as a connection or a flashing, so that it can be drawn and dimensioned clearly. Recorded changes belong in the revision block and revised sheets.
