What Is An Elevation
An elevation gives you a vertical view of your storefront system, door, or windows.
Elevations are commonly used in the building industry to validate the width and
height of a given area, and to be passed out between the builder, glaizer, and property
owner so that all parties involved in the construction project are on the same page.
