Discover the final steps of checking and editing architectural plan view comments. Learn about the valuable tools that can aid in this process, and the importance of notating material tags, drafting notes, and creating a material legend for clarity and precision.
Key Insights
- The article advises using a highlight tool or similar method to ensure all comments on the plan view have been successfully addressed. This methodical approach helps to prevent accidental oversights.
- Transitioning from the plan view to the elevation and section portions requires meticulous tagging of materials, adding of keynotes, and making necessary adjustments. This step ensures all parties involved are aware of the materials being used and their purpose.
- Creating a detailed material legend, adding keynotes and material tags where needed, and clearly displaying how the building envelope gets resolved, including insulation placement, are crucial for overall clarity and effective communication with all project stakeholders.

Now that we have finished all of the plan view comments, and one of the things you can do just to double check to make sure you've got them all, is you could use a highlight tool, you know, kind of like here we have in this web version of Adobe, I could just go through and use the highlight tool to kind of mark off the ones that I've done. It's almost like the old fashioned way of doing it as you go kind of thing. But if you don't have that, that's okay.
You can kind of just keep track of it. But as you can tell, we're at A203, and our next sheet here is gonna be A401, which is gonna kick us into our next lesson, which is the elevation and section portions. And so to kick this off, we can kind of go in and just taking a look at some of the comments here.
It's just looking for us to start tagging some of the materials. So keynoting with the material tags here. And making sure everybody knows which materials are being used and how it's being keynoted.
So a lot of keynotes on the elevations to be added. There is a enlarged elevation that we need to add, including dimensions and some materials. And then, you know, making some adjustments to show the difference between what is vision glass and what is spandrel glass on here.
You know, some drafting notes just to make sure everybody is clear on what's going on. And then creating a material legend for the exterior. And so it's a lot more of the same on the other views.

When we're over here on A401 or 4.1, or 402, sorry. You can see we're just using the same standards as the previous sheet and making sure we get all of that information on our elevations. And then as we move into our sections, we're gonna go ahead and create more detail on these sheets, more wall sections, and then also adding keynotes and material tags where appropriate.
And then there's a couple of cases where we don't clearly show how the building envelope gets resolved. And so it's good to show the insulation on these larger views so you can get a good idea of what the total building envelope is gonna be from roof all the way down to the ground so we can clearly show and communicate to the authority having jurisdiction and the contractor where insulation is intended to be. And so that's something we'll replicate on both our overall building sections and our wall sections.
So with all that being said, I think it's time to dive in. And so what we're gonna do is we're gonna start off by creating our material legend because that'll act as the framework for all the notes and things that we're gonna add.
