Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
the topography of the land, including the slope, elevation of the site, streets, sidewalks and curbs.
Topography, slopes, streets, sidewalks, and curbs are shown on a site plan, plat, or grading/civil engineering drawing — not on an elevation sheet, which addresses the structure's vertical exterior, not the land.
an interior view of the homes showing their framing.
Interior framing views are shown on framing or structural plans, not on elevation sheets, which depict only the finished exterior appearance of the building.

It depicts what the completed home will look like from outside.
