Exterior walls are generally represented using thick lines for importance and to contrast with other features. The wall thickness of the structure usually depends on the type of construction. For example, if the exterior walls of the structure are to be masonry or concrete construction with the wood framing to complete the inside surface, then the walls are usually drawn much thicker.

Therefore, the thickness of the exterior walls for a wood frame residence generally drawn is 6(150mm) .
