What are Architectural Floor Plans and its Drawings

A floor plan is a drawing that shows a room as seen from above.
Everything in a floor plan appears flat. Architects use floor plans to
show what a room or building will look like. Anyone who draws (or
drafts) a floor plan is called a draftsperson.

Floor plans commonly indicate the measurements (called dimension
lines) for how long things are in reality. Dimension lines may show
the length of walls, doors, windows, distances from walls to windows
and so on.

Floor plans can be drafted to scale, which means curtailing the size
of a drawing so the entire room can fit on a given paper. The industry
scale for this is 1/4 3D 12. This means that if some plan is drawn 1/=
4
3long in a floor plan, it is 1 1long in reality. If a member is drawn
with same size as it is in real life, it is termed as "full scale." A
draftsperson must always show the scale used in a floor plan.

Floor plans can be drafted manually with a pencil (for drawing of
thick or thin lines), ruler (for drawing straight lines to required
length), a protractor (for drawing angles where walls merge), and
graph paper (to easily draft floor plans into 1/4"D1' scale). Floor
plans may also be drafted by computer, using computeraided design
(CAD) or AutoCAD software, such as StaddPro, ArchiCAD or TurboCAD.
With use of CAD software draftsman can easily draft floor plans to
scale drawings.
