AI Interior Elevation Drafting

Interior elevations are where the casework, the finishes, and the outlets on the electrical plan finally meet on one wall. Nomic drafts the elevations in CAD from the floor plan tags and your casework markups, with cabinets, countertops, finishes, and every wall device at its mounting height, then checks the devices against the power and data plans and the reach ranges before the designer reviews the sheet.

On the sheet

Interior Elevation, annotated

An interior elevation with casework, mounting heights, and finish tags keyed to the finish legend.

  2. 2Countertop height dimension
  3. 3Upper cabinets and tall storage
  4. 4Finish tags keyed to the finish legend

The problem

The wall everyone draws differently

The electrical engineer shows a duplex receptacle on plan with a note that says above counter, the interior designer shows a backsplash on the elevation, and the casework fabricator needs to know whether the outlet lands in the backsplash or above it. Every break room, pantry, reception desk, and nurse station has that conversation, and the interior elevation is the sheet that settles it. Drawing one means elevating each wall, placing every cabinet, shelf, and panel to its dimensions, and pulling the devices off the E-sheets one at a time.

The errors that reach the field are coordination errors. A data outlet ends up behind an upper cabinet, a light switch lands where the wall panel joint should be, an accessible counter is drawn at 36 inches, or a finish tag on the elevation names a laminate the finish schedule dropped two revisions ago. When the floor plan moves a wall 6 inches, every cabinet run on that wall gets redrawn.

01 / Sources

Built from the plans, the schedules, and the markups

Nomic reads the elevation tags on the floor plan to know which walls to draw, then pulls casework layouts from the designer's markups, finishes from the finish schedule, and wall devices from the power and data plans. Your firm's past elevations set the standard cabinet heights, depths, and dimension style.

  • Elevation tags on the plan used to set which walls are drawn
  • Finish tags pulled from the current finish schedule
  • Receptacles, data, switches, and thermostats taken off the E-sheets
02 / Drafting

Each wall elevated with casework, finishes, and devices

Nomic draws each wall at 1/2" = 1'-0" or the scale you set, with base and upper cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, shelving, and wall panels dimensioned from finished floor. Finish tags, casework types, and every device on the wall are tagged, and section cuts are keyed to the millwork details.

  • Base cabinets, uppers, counters, and backsplashes dimensioned vertically
  • Finish and casework tags matched to the schedules
  • Devices at mounting heights, centered or aligned to casework as you specify
03 / Check

Devices checked against casework and reach ranges

Nomic checks every device on the elevation against the casework it sits on or behind and against the power and data plans, then checks accessible counters and controls against the reach range and height limits in the standard you name. Everything it drew is clouded for review.

  • Outlets behind cabinets or in joints flagged
  • Accessible counters, sinks, and controls checked for height and reach
  • Finish tags compared with the current finish schedule

Checked against

The code and documents behind every sheet

Name the editions the project is designed to and Nomic checks its own drawing against them before handing it back. Your engineer or architect of record makes the final call and stamps the set.

  • 2010 ADA Standards reach ranges, counters, and sinks
  • ICC A117.1
  • AWI Architectural Woodwork Standards, where specified
  • The finish schedule and casework specifications
  • The power, data, and lighting plans

How it works

From a sentence to a stamped set

  1. Step 1

    Ask for the drawing

    Say what the sheet needs to show and attach the backgrounds, markups, cutsheets, or photos. A sentence is enough to start.

  2. Step 2

    Nomic drafts it in CAD

    Nomic works in CAD on its own computer, on your layers and blocks, following how your firm drew the same thing before. It saves real DWG files to the project.

  3. Step 3

    Nomic checks its own work

    The drawing is checked against the code editions you name and the source documents. Everything Nomic drew is clouded, and open questions are listed.

  4. Step 4

    Your team reviews and stamps

    Your engineers and architects review the clouded changes, make the final call, and issue the set under their own stamp.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Nomic works in CAD on its own computer and saves interior elevations as DWG files with casework, millwork, finishes, and wall devices dimensioned at their mounting heights. The interior designer or architect reviews the clouded sheets before issue.

Nomic reads the receptacles, data outlets, and switches on the power and data plans and places each one on the elevation at its mounting height. Any device that lands behind a cabinet, in a panel joint, or out of reach above a counter is flagged with the electrical sheet it came from.

Yes. Nomic follows your casework standards and how your firm drew elevations on past projects, including standard counter heights, upper cabinet heights, and how section cuts are keyed to millwork details.

No. The designer sets the casework layout, materials, and finishes. Nomic drafts the elevations from those decisions, checks them against the plans and the accessibility standard, and the final call on the design stays with the designer and the architect of record.

No. Nomic saves DWG files you open in AutoCAD or any DWG editor. For Revit projects it hands back DWGs and a change list a modeler can link into the model.
