What is a cross-sectional drawing of a building?

Answer 1

Could be a plan view, technically a horizontal cross section.

Take a slice through a 3 dimensional object. The 2 dimensional projection of this slice is the cross section. It just depends where you make the slice.

Answer 2

A cross sectional drawing of a building, otherwise known as a section is a drawing that shows a view of a building as if it's been cut. Imagine taking a giant knife and cutting right down the middle of a house, and the 2 dimensional view that you get is called the section.

It's a useful drawing as it shows graphically what cannot be easily seen in plan such as differences in levels, details of joints between elements (such as between walls and the floors) and construction methods.

Answer 3

Cross sectional drawings usually show elevations or side views of 2 dimensional plans.
