DRAWING CONTENT - PLANS Information shown in the floor plans •

The floor plan gives a bird’s eye view of the interior of the building. It shows the layout of doors, walls, windows, vertical supports, and permanent furnishings and cabinetry.

Dimensions and grids There are some dimensions shown on the floor plans, these are primarily the floor area for each room and dimensions for the grid. •

• •

All measurements are in millimetres. This can vary depending on the scale of the image with much larger scale images such as site plans using metres. A grid has been overlayed onto the floor plans; this is also a method for ensuring quick reference of specific elements. The grid lines roughly divide the plans into rectangles. The lines are distinguishable from those indicating physical elements of the plans as they have a different line weight and are dashed. These lines then intersect letters or numbers which run along the opposite axes of the grid.
