Elevation Sheet Definition<\/h2>\n

An elevation sheet<\/strong> is typically the collection of multiple orthogonal elevation<\/a> views or drawings of the side of a building facing the cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West.<\/p>\n

For example, the \u201cWest Elevation\u201d is a perpendicular view of the building facade<\/a> facing west or the east elevation of a particular interior room in a building. Elevation sheets are exterior or interior views.<\/p>\n

Explanation<\/h2>\n

Elevation drawings are important, more abstract views of both the exterior and interior of a building, articulating the \u201carchitecture\u201d and geometry of a space. Elevation drawings, used by architects and interior designers in the environmental design professions, typically are two dimensional, illustrate vertical relationships and dimensions, and identify important elements in a space and their relationship to one another.<\/p>\n

For example, the relationship of the floor to the ceiling<\/a> and the dimension between them, or the distance from the countertop in a kitchen to the floor. The elevations also illustrate important characteristics and design features of a space. For example, a ceramic tile pattern on a wall or a mural, or the simple placement of a door<\/a> or window in a wall.<\/p>\n
