Generating Elevations - AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011: No Experience Required - page 553

interior elevations For some practice with interior elevations, try drawing one
or two elevations. You can measure the heights and sizes of various fixtures in
your own home or office as a guide.

orthogonal projection Draw the three views of the block shown in Figure 10.54
following the procedures you used for the cabin elevations, except that in this case,
you'll use the procedure that mechanical drafters employ—that is, draw the front
view first, and then develop the top and right side views from the front view. The
completed drawing, named 10A-FPLAY5.dwg , can be found on the topic's website,
