Generating the other Elevations
The full set of drawings that contractors use to construct a building includes an
elevation for each side of the building. In traditional drafting, the elevations were
usually drawn on separate sheets. This required transferring measurements from
one drawing to another by taping drawings next to each other, turning the floor
plan around to orient it to each elevation, and using several other cumbersome
techniques. You do it about the same way on the computer, but it's much easier
to move the drawing around. You'll be more accurate, and you can quickly bor-
row parts from one elevation to use in another.
