I'm just trying to understand this roof plan. I couldn't understand from where to where the measurements are made. Could someone possibly help? Thanks.

Is this a new post thread like the floor plan thread, but instead of guessing the building, we name the flaws?

The measurements are taken between the lines in the direction of the arrows. You're welcome!

This is why I hate it when drafters manually override dimensions ... total of blue dims should not equal total of red dims.

If that was Samuel's homework, and he couldn't figure it out ... he'll never finish architecture school anyway. Plus, I have a hunch as to where this image is from, and it wouldn't be homework. If I can verify it tonight when I get home I'll post an update.

My hunch was wrong. I still feel like I've seen this before, I just can't place where. Seeing the OP's comment below assures me I didn't do their homework though, or if I did he wouldn't understand it. It's pretty apparent he's got much simpler things to figure out than what I've illustrated above.

I've been told that if I instant fired everyone I wanted to for bad drafting, we wouldn't have any drafters left. I responded with a general comment about my boss wanting less change orders, and if we didn't do any work, we probably wouldn't get change orders. Got a mild laugh from the higher up in question.

Your plan is flawed. Dimensions are to either the edge of the blue zone or the white outline. This is very inconsistent and makes it impossible to read without making huge assumptions. Figure out what either of these regions are first, then work from there.
vel_pp
Sep 29, 17 10:51 am
Yes man, couldn't figure out what those regions are. That's why came to this forum. This stupid plan drains my energy.
i really can't understand anything man. could you please help explain me in simple words what this plan is about and what these measurements are?
