They should have a working knowledge of creating perspective  drawings, how to shade them with shadows, and rendering so that a design  can be better understood out side of the 2 dimensional plane of  drafting.<br />  Architectural drawing is not just a mechanical operation and neither  is it a subject to be learned separately from architectural design. And  those that study this art are indeed exceptional people because they are  of the few that can relate something imagined and transfer it into an  accurate visual representation known as architectural construction  plans.

Builders were expected to follow the illustration and work out the  details.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As building became more complex, the art of drafting the plans  advanced so that everything was spelled out in detail. Creating detailed  plans helps to avoid construction delays, to make cost estimates and to  help the builder decide to commit to a project.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Eventually, the conventions used in modern architecture were adopted  by the architects who prepared the plans. These are combined to create  comprehensive plans for the building, used at stages to solve  engineering problems or construction guides.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Copies of plans at first needed to be laboriously redrawn by hand,  which was done on special paper such as vellum that could not shrink or  stretch.</div>
