Details & Vertical Sections Designers rely upon vertical sections and details to convey information that does not immediately meet the eye. Details in designing are a result of an intentional refinement on the designer’s part. Details do not exist on their own, you, as a designing person have to pursue them, create them, and use them to give functional and visual vitality to your work. Details are drawn in any or all of the views we use: plan, vertical section, elevation, perspective and axonometric. Each view presents a different way of seeing the detail.
Detail of stair and handrail
Details of stair supports and treads (Google ‘interior stair details!)
Vertical Sections darkened portions of the drawing are where the physical objects represented have been ‘cut’ through. objects not darkened in are beyond the section cut, and are seen in elevation.
Vertical sections reveal inner relationships and structures.
Details A large view of a small, special condition
Details generally explain how physical components are constructed, related, and function.
Designers draw details to explain something that is out of the ordinary, or especially complex
This is a standard detail of a typical suspended ceiling
In the following images there are detailed pieces, parts and connections that give the design character, delicacy and interest.
A supporting post for a handrail: the designer created an interesting, distinctive and complex element: Why? Because humans are creative!

Details of a fireplace surround
