The drawing assignment for the Federal Hall Building was very interesting. I learned how to distinguish different line types used in a plan, how to make my drawings more efficient, and that it is best to start from the biggest part of the drawing to the smallest detail. The three different line types that I learned about were solid lines (which are the actual lines with no breaks), center lines ( consists of lines and dots in between ), and grid lines ( lines and dashes). Implementing these line types will help to make my work clearer and easier to read. When it comes to the order of what to draw first its best to start with the biggest parts to the smallest details, completing the biggest tasks first helps to keep your work organized and even. To be sure that my work is neat, I learned that I can create a bounding box around the original drawing and extend the lines so that each line meets at the same points.
