a commercial structure, a reflected ceiling plan is recommended. The drawing should be
printed on the D-size title block created in Unit 1.
What are the steps?
• Task 1: Electrical Plan
Procedure
1. Take the floor plan created in Unit 2 and XREF it into a new file.
2. Freeze all layers that are not necessary for this plan, omitting only the
walls, windows, doors, bathroom fixtures, and the kitchen layout.
3. Place switches, outlets, and conduit lines on the floor plan to create an
electrical plan.

Labs
Lab 8.1: Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) Plan and Plumbing Plan
What is the purpose?
Heating, ventilation, and cooling plans identify the location of return and supply
ductwork in rooms. It is important to properly size HVAC units to correctly control the
climate within the structure.
Plumbing plans ensure that pipes are properly laid out for the fixtures with the least
amount of waste.
In this lab exercise, you will draw a heating and cooling plan for the project according to
the directions given on pages 176-178 of the Architectural Drawing and Light
Construction textbook. In addition, you will create a plumbing plan for your project
according to the directions given on page 183 of the textbook.
What are the steps?
• Task 1: HVAC Plan
Procedure
1. INSERT or XREF the floor plan into a new drawing to create an
HVAC plan.
2. Freeze all layers except the walls, doors, and windows.
3. Draw a heating and cooling plan for the project per the directions
found on pages 176-178 of the Architectural Drawing & Light
Construction: Special Edition—Volume I textbook.
4. Ensure that there is proper spacing within the structure to provide a
chase for the ductwork. This is typically in or near a closet.
5. Print the HVAC plan (M1) on the D-size title block created in Unit 1
for a critique and grade.
• Task 2: Plumbing Plan
Procedure
1. INSERT or XREF the floor plan into a new drawing to create a
plumbing plan.
2. Freeze all layers except the walls and plumbing fixtures.
3. Create a plumbing plan for the project per the directions given on page
183 of the Architectural Drawing & Light Construction: Special
Edition—Volume I textbook.

Homework
The following homework is designed to cover the course objectives for this unit.
Assignment 7.1:
Submit hand-written answers to Review Questions 14-25 given at the end of Chapter
5 on page 191 of the Architectural Drawing & Light Construction: Special Edition—
Volume I textbook.

Lab 7.1: Roof Plan and Exterior Elevations
What is the purpose?
The roof plan shows the shape of the roof to be created for the project. It also shows the
location of items such as HVAC units, exhaust fans, plumbing vents, and roof drains.
Exterior elevations are created to show what the structure looks like. In this lab exercise,
you will create orthographic projections to demonstrate the heights of doors, windows,
and other features.
In this lab exercise, you will create a roof plan of your project, printed on a D-size title
block, for critique and grading. In addition, you will create front and rear exterior
elevations of the structure being designed as the course project.
What are the steps?
• Task 1: Roof Plan
Procedure
1. Use an example, such as the one found on page 147, as a reference
when creating your own roof plan.
2. Using XREF or INSERT, place the floor plan into a new drawing as a
base to create a roof plan.
3. Freeze all layers except for the walls.
4. Trace the exterior walls by using PLINE to create a boundary for the
overhang.
5. OFFSET the PLINE to create an overhang for the building. Overhangs
typically range in depth from 12"-18".
6. Create the style of roof you desire. Remember that hips and gables
require the water to run downhill and that valleys are drawn at 45°
angles.
7. Add location of ridge vents, plumbing vents, and downspouts.
8. Print the roof plan (A4) on the D-size title block created in Unit 1 for
critique and grade.
• Task 2: Exterior Elevations
Procedure
1. Refer to pages 123-126 of the Architectural Drawing & Light
Construction: Special Edition—Volume I textbook to review how to
draw exterior elevations from the floor plan.
2. Use your floor plan to create construction lines to project locations
from the floor plan to the newly created elevation.
3. Use the Elevation Views Information Checklist on page 126 of the
Architectural Drawing & Light Construction: Special Edition—
Volume I textbook to ensure accuracy of the drawing.
4. Add foundation in hidden lines, elevation of finished floor, ceiling
locations for every level, and foundation elevation.
5. Print the elevations (A5) on the D-size title block created in Unit 1.
