Question 1

The layout of a hip roof is similar to the layout of a gable roof. Only the upper line of the roof will remain, but the other lines are needed to determine the location of the ____.

Accepted Answer

D

Question 2

A ____ will be required to aid in the projections of the ground line for a specific site.

Accepted Answer

A grading plan will be required to aid in the projections of the ground line for a specific site. A grading plan is a topographical map that illustrates the contour lines and elevations of a property. It is used to determine the slope of the land and to identify any potential drainage or erosion issues. By analyzing the grading plan, the designer can determine the best location for the building and the most appropriate foundation design. The grading plan will also be used to calculate the amount of excavation or fill needed to level the site.

Question 3

When constructing a structure on a hillside, _____ must be projected from the site plan to the elevations.

Accepted Answer

Ground levels must be projected from the site plan to the elevations when constructing a structure on a hillside to accurately represent the topography and how the structure interacts with the varying elevations.

Question 4

The layout of openings should be drawn on the ELEV layer.

Accepted Answer

The ELEV layer is typically used for elevations, but it can also be used to indicate the layout of openings such as doors and windows.

Question 5

Using one consistent uniform line width will help you create a more realistic elevation.

Accepted Answer

Using one consistent uniform line width can create a simplistic and unrealistic elevation. Varying the line weight can add depth and dimension to the drawing, making it appear more realistic.

Question 6

When creating details, if necessary, a portion of an elevation can be reproduced using the ____ command and displayed in a separate viewport.

Accepted Answer

The COPY command allows you to duplicate objects, including portions of an elevation, which can then be displayed in a separate viewport for detailing purposes.

Question 7

On a complicated project, layout lines for the roof and walls can be assigned different colors to aid projection.

Accepted Answer

Assigning different colors to layout lines for the roof and walls can help in distinguishing between the two projections, thereby aiding in the project's implementation.

Question 8

The gable wall of a full ____ roof is usually set back several feet from the wall of the structure.

Accepted Answer

A Dutch hip roof has a gable wall that is typically set back from the main wall of the structure, creating a small hip at the top of the gable.

Question 9

The ____ of a roof is determined by drawing a line from the intersection of the wall and the ceiling at the desired angle to represent the roof.

Accepted Answer

The line drawn from the intersection of the wall and the ceiling to represent the roof is called the rake. The eave refers to the overhanging edge of a roof, the cornice is the decorative molding that runs along the top edge of a roof, and the fascia is the board that runs along the lower edge of a roof and provides a surface for attaching the gutters. None of these terms accurately describe the line used to represent the roof angle.

Question 10

The height of the garage doors is measured from the finished floor level.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The height of the garage doors is...

Question 11

When the house has an irregular shape, a(n) ____ and a roof plan will be required to draw the elevations.

Accepted Answer

When the house has an irregular shape, a floor plan will be required to accurately draw the elevations as it shows the layout and dimensions of the rooms in the house. A grading plan is used to show the landscape and contour of the land, a foundation plan shows the layout and dimensions of the foundation of the house, and an electrical plan shows the location of electrical wiring and outlets in the house, none of which are necessary for drawing elevations.

Question 12

You should lay out the elevations in ____ space with no regard to the size of the drawing template.

Accepted Answer

Elevations should be laid out in model space because it allows for easy manipulation and scaling of the drawing without compromising the accuracy of the measurements. Additionally, working in model space allows for easy creation of different views and perspectives.

Question 13

Which command should you use to place a line to represent the ceiling level?

Accepted Answer

The OFFSET command allows you to create parallel lines at a specified distance from an existing line. In this case, you can use the OFFSET command to create a line that represents the ceiling level by specifying a distance above the existing walls.

Question 14

The ____ commands can be used to adjust all line intersections.

Accepted Answer

The TRIM command is used to trim the intersecting parts of two lines, and the FILLET command is used to round off the intersecting corners of two lines. Both of these commands can be used to adjust line intersections in different ways. The other answer choices do not have any specific tools for adjusting line intersections.

Question 15

A ridge that is perpendicular to the viewing plane can easily be projected from the view that shows the gable end wall for that roof.

Accepted Answer

A ridge that is perpendicular to the viewing plane would not be easily projected from the view showing the gable end wall because it would appear as a point or a line, making it difficult to accurately represent its true shape and dimensions.
