Why are architectural wall sections and details important to structural drafters and designers?
What will be an ideal response?
Architectural wall sections and details are extremely important because they show most clearly how the materials are tied together to construct a building. Small-scale floor plans, exterior elevations, and building sections cannot adequately show how to mount windows in exterior walls, how to put together steel plate and angle lintels to support the masonry wall above a steel door frame, how to locate a wide-flange structural steel column inside the corner of an exterior masonry wall, or how to fasten metal studs to the structural support frame at the roof of a building.
