Following step-by-step instructions, users progress smoothly through the planning & drafting process from sketching basic house shapes on a building site to completion of a full set of plans, up to code, working drawings for a new house or remodeling project. Users learn to draw each sheet of a typical set of working drawings including: floor plans, foundation plans, roof plans, exterior elevations, sections & site plans.
