Re: Reading an architects building plans, any pitfalls?
Plans and elevations are drawn in small scale thus, more conceptual. Go to the larger scaled details or catalog cut sheets for enhanced details. This applies to exterior wall materials (metal, glass, masonry, etc.), interior/exterior doors and windows, etc.
Obviously, greater distance less detail; closeups, lots of detailing. If it is a simple building, then you may not need to be too concerned about details. The designers should give you some direction as to the details they want to see in the rendering
