My preference is that the drawing numbers start in the bottom right-hand corner and work their way up the page until they reach the top, and at that point, you go back down to the bottom of the page – essentially one column over and continue working your way up the page again.

I have added a few guidelines on the image above to show that all of these drawings are lined up with one another for the most part – it just visually keeps the drawing organized and tidy in its appearance … but we need to talk a minute about how to identify those drawings – why is detail 04 located where it is? For example, detail 01 “Plan Detail” can be found in the bottom right-hand corner of the sheet but if I wanted to reference that drawing elsewhere in the set, I would call it out as “o1/A2.82” which not only identifies the detail number but also the page in which you can find it. Most architectural sheets have more than one drawing on them and in order to assist with referencing their location elsewhere, most will have individual numbers. First off is the numbering of the drawings on the page. I am going to break this Architectural Graphics 101 post up into just a few small parts – some of which I have skimmed over in the past but it’s worth repeating. I am also going to take a few moments to introduce the concept of how you number these drawings (i.e. In just about every conceivable way, this title block has all the parts that you would expect to find on a drawing – but maybe you don’t know what those are.
I have been beaten up for so long on the use of chisel fonts that I’ve decided to leave that alone (for now). They haven’t asked, and I haven’t offered … but other than pen weight and arrowheads, most of the drawing conventions that are in place align with my own thoughts on the matter. For the record, nobody at my current office wants my opinion about how our drawings are laid out. I thought I would start with a title block from my current office – BOKA Powell. It’s been 3 years and 16 days since my last architectural graphics post and just like the last time I had a steaming hot bowl of Wolf brand chili, that’s too long. After a very long hiatus, Architectural Graphics 101 is rising from the ashes like the proverbial Phoenix. Architectural Graphics are a topic that it seems everybody has an interest in discussing – or at the very least, looking at for comparison purposes.
