2. 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.
