How does a building section help in analyzing a street?

Answer

If you are drawing a building section, it's always more thorough to include it's proximity to the street. The first reason for this, is a building is required to meet a setback distance from the street per code. The building department will be looking at your drawings to make sure you are within those setback regulations. The second reason, is that it is always nice to see the relationship of the building to its surroundings. The whole point in drawing up a set of plans is to tell a story. An analysis of the street is usually done by a civil engineer.
