Elevation view and section view are two different concepts in interior design drawing, which have different forms and functions. Proper selection of different drawings can effectively help us understand the building structure and decoration methods.

(1) elevation

Elevation view refers to the view projected on the front of the building, which is called elevation view. In other words, the facade shows the appearance and characteristics of the house, which is equivalent to the exterior of the house. The elevation can be used to observe the appearance of the house from different angles. If viewed from the front, it is called an elevation view. If it is drawn from the back or in different directions, it is called side elevation or east, west, south and north elevation.

The graphic method of section view is to see through the shape, layout and materials of the internal structure of the house in an imaginary way, which can make people understand the general situation of the internal structure and more local details more intuitively. Usually, the profile should describe the details in detail and be accompanied by text descriptions, so that people can understand the structure of the house more deeply, which is equivalent to the internal design of the imaginary house after it is cut open.

The proportion of the facade is small, which can not show every detail of the exterior of the house, such as balcony railings, door and window decoration, etc. Therefore, one or two details are generally drawn as representatives, and other similar details are represented by simplified outline lines, which involve other contents that need to be explained, and detailed pictures and words are also provided. Symmetrical building structures or houses that cannot be projected in parallel can be represented in different ways on the drawing.
