Here are some common interior details.  A typical punched opening and a swing door.  A lot more information than is common in a set of drawings and likely more than is needed for such a common residential trim condition.  The primary goal here was to explore how traditional orthographic projection could be paired and organized with a model vignette to help quickly visualize the finished trim condition.
