Construction details shall be provided to illustrate and describe visual, structural and weatherproof design and should be drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly show the details.

Alternatively, drawings can show a reference indicating where the detail may be found. For example, the junction or interface is circled and referenced by way of detail number and sheet (e.g. detail 4, sheet 7).
