1. How long ago They rvolved from over 100 years ago to enable tradesmen to build objects and
did blueprints structures from the prints
evolve?
2. In modern con- To build to exact specifications and within the budget
struction what
are blueprints
used for?
3. Snatching lines, Engineers
arcs, ellipses,
symbols and
shapes allow for
who to communi-
cate?
4. What is CAD? Computer Aided Design
5. What is BIM? • Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating and managing
building data during its life cycle
• BIM uses 3D, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase produc-
tivity in building design and construction
• A designer uses intelligent objects (families) to build the model
6. What kind of Floor plans and elevations
plans do electri-
cians focus on for
a residential pro-
ject?
7. What determines The building materials and local code. This is usually found in the details for
runs for electrical materials
installation?

types of trian- 45 degree
gles a draftsper- And an adjustable triangle
son may use?
10. The use of fixed 15 degree increments
triangles individ-
ually or together
can produce an-
gles in what de-
gree increments?
11. What is a protrac- Marking the first angle for origin
tor used for?
12. What is a divider Transferring measurements like laying out studs
used for?
13. What is the A drafting machine
next level up Has horizontal/ vertical straightedge scale
from the hand Capable of 1 degree increments and is faster/ more accurate
held instruments
a draftsperson
might use? How
