1Which drawing type shows a building cut vertically to reveal interior construction and spatial relationships?
A.Section drawing
B.Elevation drawing
C.Orthographic projection
D.Isometric sketch
Explanation: A section drawing cuts through the building to show internal levels, structure, materials and spatial relationships — a core convention in HDS315118 design communication.
2On an architectural drawing, a scale of 1:100 means that:
A.One metre on the drawing equals one hundred metres on site
B.One millimetre on the drawing represents one hundred millimetres (0.1 m) in the built work
C.The drawing is one hundred times larger than the building
D.All dimensions are shown in centimetres only
Explanation: At 1:100, each unit on paper represents 100 of the same units in reality — a common site-plan and overview scale in Tasmanian housing projects.
3In a floor plan, dashed lines are most commonly used to indicate:
A.Cut structural walls
B.Property boundaries only
C.Hidden elements above the cut plane, such as overhead cupboards
D.North orientation
Explanation: Dashed lines conventionally represent elements above the plan cut (e.g. cupboards, beams) or hidden features, helping readers interpret layered information.
4Freehand sketching is especially valuable in early housing design because it:
A.Replaces the need for any scale drawings
B.Must always be drawn to Australian Standard sheet sizes
C.Eliminates client feedback
D.Allows rapid exploration of form, layout and ideas before formal drafting
Explanation: Quick sketches support ideation and communication before investing in scaled orthographic work — central to Unit 1 design communication.
5Effective annotation on housing design drawings should:
A.Explain materials, dimensions, levels and design intent in clear notes
B.Use decorative fonts only
C.Replace all dimension lines
D.Hide construction details from the client
Explanation: Annotations link graphic information to decisions — materials, levels, construction notes and intent — so assessors and clients can read the proposal.
6An elevation drawing in residential design shows:
A.A horizontal slice through the building at 1.2 m
B.The external face of the building as seen from one direction
C.Only roof pitch angles
D.Underground services
Explanation: Elevations present external appearance, materials and vertical relationships from a chosen viewpoint — standard folio and exam communication.
7In technical housing drawings, heavier line weights are typically applied to:
A.Background landscape only
B.Erased construction lines
C.Cut elements and primary building outlines
D.Dimension extension lines
Explanation: Line weight hierarchy emphasises cut planes and main outlines so readers distinguish structure from secondary information.
8A scale of 1:50 is most appropriate for:
A.A whole suburb master plan
B.Sketching only — never for assessed work
C.Showing Tasmania on a map
D.Detailed room layouts, joinery and bathroom plans on A3 sheets
Explanation: 1:50 is a common residential detail scale allowing fixtures, clearances and joinery to be read on A3 folio pages.
9A symbols legend on a housing plan is important because it:
A.Ensures consistent interpretation of fixtures, materials and services symbols
B.Eliminates the need for dimensions
C.Replaces the title block
D.Shows only structural steel sizes
Explanation: Legends decode symbols for sanitary fixtures, materials and services so multiple readers interpret the drawing the same way.
10Diagonal hatching on a section drawing typically indicates:
A.Glazing
B.Cut through a solid material such as a wall or slab
C.Insulation only
D.North point
Explanation: Section hatch patterns show materials cut by the section plane — a fundamental drafting convention in housing communication.
