A section detail I keep redrawing

There’s a parapet detail I’ve drawn some version of on three separate projects now, and I still redraw it from scratch every time instead of copying the old one forward. Partly stubbornness, partly because the site conditions are never quite the same, and partly because I keep noticing something small I’d do differently.

This round’s change: moving the membrane termination up and behind the coping rather than tucking it under, after a conversation with a contractor about how the old detail actually gets installed in practice versus how it looks correct on paper. The drawing was “correct.” It was also apparently a pain to build well, which matters more.

Small detail, but it’s the kind of thing that doesn’t make it into any portfolio and would otherwise just live in my head until I forget it and make the same mistake again.
