Architectural Detail DXF
construction details, drawn to the codes
Describe the junction — wall to foundation, window in opening, roof edge at parapet. Get a dimensioned section as editable DXF, with layer buildups grounded in the Romanian and EU normatives that apply to it.
No credit card. AI budget included for testing.
Detail types
The junctions that take the longest to draw and are the easiest to get wrong.
Plinth and base details
Wall meeting foundation: damp-proofing turned up the wall, thermal insulation carried below grade, the finish line at ground level, drainage layer.
Window and door junctions
Frame set in the opening: sill and its projection, lintel, insulation returned at the reveal, sealing sequence inside and out.
Roof edges and parapets
Flat roof at parapet: waterproofing layers, upstand height, coping, drainage. Pitched roof at eaves: rafter, gutter, ventilation gap.
Floor and slab buildups
Ground floor on fill, intermediate floor on slab, screed over underfloor heating — with insulation thicknesses that satisfy the thermal requirement.
Fire-rated assemblies
Compartment wall sections and EI-rated partitions, with the layer composition that supports the required rating under P118-1/2025.
Fixings and connections
Profile fixed to structure, anchor layouts, base plates — shown at the scale where the fixing itself is legible.
What grounds the geometry
A detail is wrong in a way that costs money when a thickness is invented. Layer dimensions are taken from the applicable normative and shown with the source, not produced from memory.
| Normative | What it constrains in the detail |
|---|---|
| C107 | Thermal resistance of the assembly — insulation thickness, thermal bridge treatment at junctions |
| NP 068 | Dwelling requirements — minimum areas, clear heights, daylight and sill conditions |
| P118-1/2025 | Fire safety — compartment wall composition, rated assemblies, protected openings |
| P100-1/2013 | Seismic design — the structural context a detail must be compatible with |
| Eurocodes | Structural basis where the detail carries or transfers load |
A normative sets the constraint. It does not choose the detail — that stays a design decision, and the drawing tells you which values came from a cited source and which were assumed.
What you get
Questions
Can I issue a generated detail for construction?
No — not as it comes. It is a working draft that a qualified designer reviews, adapts to the project and signs. What the platform does is make the review targeted: it states which dimensions came from your requirements, which were derived from a cited source, and which it assumed, so you check the assumptions rather than re-verifying everything.
What if I do not specify a thickness?
It is either derived from the applicable normative and shown with the source, or assumed and shown as an assumption with the reasoning. It is never inserted silently — an unmarked assumption is exactly what makes a drawing that looks finished and is not.
Can I change the detail after it is generated?
Yes. The drawing is editable DXF, so you can work on it in your own CAD application like any other file.
Which drawing conventions are used?
Romanian and European drawing practice: millimetre units, AEC layer naming, material hatches by convention, dimensions as real CAD dimension entities rather than drawn lines with text beside them.
I have a sketch of the detail rather than a description.
Use image to DXF — upload the sketch and get editable geometry back, then refine it.
