A properly documented landscape design drawing will always include sufficient information about the job to identify:
- The designer (often done by way of logo),
- The client,
- The location,
- The name of the drafter,
- The name of person approving the design,
- Possibly the name of the person checking the design,
- The date,
- The scale (we favour entering the scale thus - 1:100@A2 instead of simply 1:100),
- Sheet size,
- Number of sheets (1 of 3 for example - Revision B),
- Drawing file name,
- Possibly the use of colour and pen thicknesses,
- Revision information,
- The planting schedule,
- A disclaimer, etc.
Each of these needs to be placed on the sheet in an appropriate place and size. The figures below show examples of typical sheet borders and title blocks.
The figure below shows a typical title block. This one features the use of replaceable attributes (see the using GardenCAD course at http://www.landscapetutor.net). Your task in this project, is to hand draw a similar block for your landscape consultancy.You will use the block in all the different sheets you use to present your design, irrespective of their size; A0, A1, A2 etc. Later in the Diploma, you will make CAD versions of these title blocks.
When you have completed this project, please submit it to info@gardencad.net in the usual way.
