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 tool palette. These tools were created from the detail component databases available in AutoCAD
Architecture.
