Architectural drawings typically use several key dimensions, including linear dimensions for lengths, widths, and heights of structures; elevation dimensions that indicate vertical distances; and scale dimensions to represent the proportional relationship of the drawing to the actual building size. Additionally, these drawings often include annotations for door and window sizes, room areas, and other critical architectural features. Effective use of dimensions ensures clarity and precision in the construction process.
A plotter is a large format printer used to produce oversized drawings, prints and images (ex. 30" x 42" architectural drawings)

All architects convey their ideas through technical drawings (plans, sections, elevations, details, etc). A class in architectural drawing teaches a student the basic rules to developing each of these drawings. There are also a series of notations, hatch patterns and graphic standards that commonly used in the architectural field and must be learned to create an accurate drawing that effectively communicates the architect's intent.
Architectural Supplemental Instruction, or revisions to approved documents that do not change the main base bid. Such as a change in dimension.
For small projects there is a contract price for larger projects 4% of the project cost
An aligned dimension is a type of dimension in drafting and design that is placed parallel to the dimension line. It is used to specify the distance or size of an object in a drawing accurately. This type of dimension is common in engineering and architectural drawings.

A dimension line is a graphical element used in technical drawings and architectural plans to indicate the extent and size of an object or space. It typically consists of a straight line with arrowheads at each end, pointing to the points being measured. Dimension lines are often accompanied by numerical values that specify the measurements, helping to convey precise dimensions for construction or manufacturing purposes.

Yes architectural rendering drawings are in two dimensions. They are hand drawn 2D images or animations to show a basic design. There are modern computer drawings which do use 3D.

In architectural or engineering drawings, it is the symbol for diameter

Elevation drawings are architectural illustrations that represent the vertical aspects of a building or structure from a specific viewpoint. They show the exterior appearance, including materials, colors, and architectural details, without perspective distortion. These drawings help convey the design intent and scale of the building, making them essential for both construction and visualization purposes. Elevation drawings typically accompany other architectural plans, such as floor plans and sections.

Lines that define the parameters of a dimension.Dimension lines are thin lines terminating in arrowheads. Place dimension lines no closer than 3/8" from the object outline. Parallel dimension lines should be a minimum of 1/4" apart. You may place parallel dimension lines more than 1/4" apart so long as the spacing between dimension lines is uniform throughout the drawing. Dimension lines are generally broken in the center of the line to provide a space for the dimension figure. Dimension figures for parallel dimension lines are staggered. In some structural or architectural drawings, you may find dimension figures placed above the dimension line.
