Which plans show the support beams, girders, and the size, direction, and spacing of framing members?

• A. Plot
• B. Framing
• C. Object line
• D. Presentation drawing

Answer: (B)

Framing plans illustrate the building's structural skeleton: where the support beams and girders go and the size, direction, and spacing of framing members. This information tells carpenters how to assemble the frame on site, including beam sizes, their orientation, and the on-center spacing of elements like joists and studs. The plot plan shows the site layout and property boundaries, not the internal frame; an object line is a type of line representation rather than a plan; a presentation drawing focuses on overall visuals rather than detailed structural layout.
