grouped (fig. 10-25) so that references may bemade more easily from the general drawing.The scale selected for details depends on howlarge it needs to be drawn to clearly explain therequired information. Details are usually drawnat a larger scale than the sections, generally1 in., 1 1/2 in., or 3 in. = 1 ft.Details commonly used for installation ofitems such as doorframes and window frames,fireproofing, and material connections are readilyavailable in the Graphic Standards and Sweet’scatalogs. These typical details, however, are to beadapted to the particular building being drawn.You may avoid the use of “typical” details whendifferent conditions actually exist. It is importantfor an EA to understand construction well enoughto make an accurate detail drawing.Selecting the particular sheet to draw the detailis important. Details that relate to the drawingare placed on that sheet; if space is limited, allother details should be placed with the section orschedules or on a separate sheet set aside fordetails. Likewise, door details should be placedon the sheet with the floor plans, on the sheet withthe door schedule, on a sheet with sections, or ona sheet set aside for details.The following procedures are given to guideyou in the development and drawing of details:1. Lay out the details on the particular sheet.Draw extension lines, dimensions lines, andguidelines for all of the dimensions lightly.2. Darken in the details, one at a time, usinga system similar to that used in drawing sections.Add labels, notes, and dimensions. Remember toshow all of the sizes and thicknesses of materialsrequired.3. Add material symbols and place title andscale below the detail to complete the drawing.SCHEDULESSCHEDULES are tabular or graphic arrange-ments of extensive information or notes relatedto construction materials. The use of schedulespresents a quick and easy way for planners,estimators, contractors, and suppliers to sharesimilar data, hence reducing construction errorsand saving time. In the SEABEEs, the success ofthe planners and estimators (P&E) in accuratelypreparing takeoff, of the supply department (S-4)in properly ordering construction materials, andof the construction crew (line companies anddetachments) in installing the materials intheir proper locations depends greatly upon theefficiency with which the relative information isconveyed on the drawing (plans).The material information most commonlyplaced in schedules relates to doors, windows,room finishes, lintels, and other structuralelements. The information required on a DOORSCHEDULE varies from a bare minimum (forsmall jobs) to extensive (for large projects).A door schedule may include the following:door number, quantity, mark or code number,type, size, material description, lintel, andremarks.An example of a tabular door schedule isshown in figure 10-26.
