The dimensions of a building and their location on a site are determined from information in the ___ plan.

• A. Plot
• B. Framing
• C. Object line
• D. Section

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the plot plan (also called the site plan) shows the building’s footprint and its exact location on the property, including distances to property lines and setbacks. This diagram provides the overall exterior dimensions and where the building sits on the site, which is what’s needed to place foundations, walls, and utilities correctly. A framing plan, by contrast, focuses on the internal structure—how the building is put together with studs, joists, and beams—not where it sits on the lot. A section is a vertical cut through the building to reveal interior details, not the site placement. An object line is simply a drafting line type, not a plan for site layout.
