Which term refers to drawings of the walls, both interior and exterior?

• A. Section
• B. Eave
• C. Elevation
• D. Details

Answer: (C)

Elevations depict wall faces as seen from the outside or inside, showing the height, finish, and the location of doors, windows, and other details on both exterior and interior walls. This makes them the standard drawings for communicating what walls look like and how tall they are, how they align with floors and ceilings, and what materials appear on the surfaces. In contrast, a section is a cut through the building to reveal interior relationships and structure, an eave refers to the roof edge, and details are enlarged views of specific components.
