floor plans—scaling & dimensioning DRAF 70 floor plans—scaling & dimensioning floor plan is perhaps most significant architectural drawing contains tremendous amount of information serves as primary drawing—specialty drawings keyed from orthographic view—seen as if horizontal cutting plane passed through it at approximately 4 ft. some exceptions can be made viewer is looking straight down into building largest drawing in set—residential generally ¼ inch scale
