Shaded windowns on elevations

[SCShell]

Thanks Dave.

Let's see....the score for my chicken scratch is:

In favor: 2
Against: 1

(Have to qualify this....I am not counting the possible 25 "Against" votes which would include the City's plan check folks, my Mother and Girlfriend, and most of the Contractors who have to read it!)

But, in my defense.....it is at least now "consistently" hard to read vs the way it looked around 3 am, pushing a morning deadline!

Here are the nearly finished Cab & Mill drawings, printed as colored PDFs, which I use to send to the Client for his review. When complete, I will print everything in B&W like the earlier example I posted of some of these sheets. But, the important thing to remember is that these are still just Hidden Line drawings...not Shaded with Edges which take up lots of memory and take forever to print.

Thanks
Steve

What might make it slightly non-legible is the thickness of the "ink", not the actual style of handwriting. I still like it and don't see much of that around nowadays.

Our casework drawings don't look pretty....we just tag each piece of casework with the size and model number and give some heights. And they're just linework. I like how yours stand out with those solid fills. I'd use that technique (and shaded & shadowed views for other drawings) if I worked on my own

Now go back to work!

Love the handwriting! I was gonna sk you for the font haha. I like those casework drawings, they're really sharp. We do just B&W all the time as we have the same reproduction issues as Patrick described. I just don't understand why they scan the darn drawings instead of just printing them from the digital file directly. I think it has something to do with the fact that by scanning, they also enter the drawing info into the database, but I still don't see it as a valid excuse.

You're serious that the printshop scans them?? We upload PDFs to a website for our printshop (only 4 miles away) and then they print and deliver them back to us... they can also accept electronic print files I think... (*.plt pehaps..)

Yes, I'm serious and I don't get it! This is a very conservative State haha
