 IDENTIFY THE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
LINES
Front Office Department is the most
visible department in a hotel. It serves as
the nerve for hotel operation. As an
interface between a hotel and its guests,
it is where guests make first contact.
In other words, Front Office Department is the
first and last point that can make guests develop
an impression about the level of service
standard facilities of the hotel and similar
establishment. It is very important to have a
wellplanned design and layout of the
establishment.
Design is to make a drawing, pattern, or
sketch of or to draw the plans, for example
design a building. On the other hand, layout
is the plan or design or arrangement of
something laid out; the act or process of
planning or laying out in detail.
The use of line symbols enables
engineers/designers to express features
of designed products clearly and
accurately. Line features vary not only by
width but also by how they are
graphically represented in a drawing.
Lines are critical component of sketching.
Lines have different types, thickness and
shape has its own meaning. Design or
layout is basically done by using line
symbols otherwise known as Alphabet of
lines.
Key to successful drafting is to have a
good technical knowledge of these
various line characteristics – to
understand where and when to apply
them in technical drawing.
OBJECT OR VISIBLE LINES
Thick dark line use to show outline of
object, visible edges and surfaces.
CONSTRUCTION LINE
Very light and thin line use to construct
layout work.
DIMENSION LINE
Thin and dark lines use to show the size
(span) of an object with a numeric
value. Usually terminates with
arrowheads or tick markings.
HIDDEN LINE
Short dash lines use to show nonvisible
surfaces. Usually shows as medium
thickness.
CENTRE LINE
Long and short dash lines. Usually
indicates center of holes, circles
and arcs. Line is thin and dark.
EXTENSION LINE
Thin and dark line
use to show the
starting and ending
of dimension.
CUTTING PLANE LINE
Extra thick line use to show cutaway
views or plane of projection where a
section view is taken. Arrow indicates
direction of view.
SHORT AND BREAKLINES
Short and long medium line use to
show cutaway view of a long
section.
LEADER LINE
Medium line with arrowhead to show
notes or label for size or special
information about a feature.
PHANTOM LINE
Long line followed by two short dashes
use to show alternate position of a moving
part.
SECTION LINE
Medium lines drawn at 45 degrees use to
show interior view of solid areas of cutting
plane line.
