Cutting Card Elevations

This guide explains how to cut architectural elevations from card accurately and safely for modelmaking. It covers marking out elevations by drawing directly onto card or fixing printed drawings with spray mount, and shows how to position the metal rule so that waste card is removed first, minimising damage if the knife slips. Step-by-step advice on controlled cutting, handling internal corners and window openings, and forming permanent paper-to-card bonds helps users achieve clean, precise façade components while working methodically and safely.
