payettedesigns Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Do any of you guys ever do a horizontal orientation of your floor plans when 1/4 " =1 ' is to large for a vertical orientation on 24" x36 layout ? Instead of reducing to 3/16" =1' which framers hate? david p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I always draw my buildings so the largest dimension is across the page. It does not really matter the orientation of the layout as long as you a consistant through a plan set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no convention that I'm aware of that requires plans to be oriented 'vertically'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I have a couple of extra Layout Sheet sizes that I use depending on the plan. 24" x 42" 24" x 48" Both of these are custom sizes not provided by standards. I would never use 3/16" scale. If the project is too large for even these sizes I will use a 1/8" scale "Key Plan" and 1/4" scale partial plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
