CROSS SECTION HOME DRAWING

Carpentry Plans, Coffered Ceiling

CAD Design Drawing in Perspective

· · · · · · ·

The basement remodeling offers something in the CAD design and CAD drawing business that's neither fish nor fowl.  It's both.  It's both a Cross Section, or Section, or Section View diagram of sorts of a coffered ceiling and it's a Detail home drawing of sorts of a coffered ceiling.  It does both jobs and keeps on giving.  And it keeps on giving in perspective.

You can see this basement remodeling variously in — 

Builder Home drawing — 

Detail Home Drawing, Carpentry Plans, Ceiling Coffer

Plans & Elevations, Basement Remodeling

Schematics, Electrical Wiring Diagram

And . . .

The coffered ceiling for this basement is borne of need — need to cover up the forced air conduit of the HVAC system.  The coffered ceiling section, or cross section, or section view diagram CAD design drawing in perspective is, too, borne of need - need to git-r-dun well.  This coffered ceiling home designing element works well in concealing pipes and the like, as well as providing a stable platform for finishing.    We have developed various configurations of coffered ceilings to get the job done, often starting with what seems to be  overwhelming difficulties and ending amazed at the successful outcome.  This study of a section, or section view, or cross section diagram in perspective is about the largest of the ceiling coffers, the ones usually running along the edges of a room's ceiling, the ones containing the largest conduit.  Thereafter, we home design and apply patterns of one sort or another in step-down sizes, crisscrossing a given ceiling more or less symmetrically.  These coffers provide excellent means by which to dress up a room with varying clads and surface treatments, create intimacy with the lowered ceiling area, and permit space definition of themselves and, particularly, with the lighting used within and between coffer sections.

This basement remodeling CAD drawing – and others like it – naturally arise out of working with Autocad 2006 in 3d home design.  In so doing, you have to draw every line or copy ones you've already drawn, in order to make more of the same.  Therefore, a 2"x4" starts with four lines at each end and four more lines connecting the ends:  16 lines.  Lines.  Lines.  Everywhere lines.  Rooms full of lines.

Well, with all these lines defining all these things you're CAD design drawing, you can get up really, really close and look at the minutia of how things fit together.  Clearly and without distortions, without smudges and runs and blurs.  Sure, you can draw way back, too, and only look at the big picture — a room, a home front, etc.  But here, we're getting up close.

Here, we're getting up close in 3 dimensions.  That's the kicker.  And that's what makes this shot special.  You will see, up close on the coffer ceiling frame you can see all it takes to build it.  Conventionally, a draftsman must do three different home drawings of carpentry plans to get everything across to a carpenter: 1) a plan view; 2) an elevation; and 3) a cross-section.  Maybe even throw in a detail or a lot of words of explanation.  We do all three in one.

Take a look, in perspective.

And this 3d home design home drawing keeps on giving.  It keeps on giving a 3d home design perspective that is visually more than the sum of its cross-sectional abutments and detail specifications.  The home drawing shows us how the framing ought to look like when the carpenter is done with his work.

The Autocad Granddad thinks this is akin to magic.
