the fourth floor. The exterior doors are only necessary on the first floor of the building, and the stairs
to the roof are not needed.

Detailing Your Design
In this exercise, you create a window detail. You create a new view drawing, and reference the section view into the
detail view to use as a guide in creating the detail. To draw the detail, you use detail tools on the project palette. These
tools were created from the detail component databases available in AutoCAD Architecture.
