I ll be referring to the scale i m using a couple of times.
Illustrator floor plan design drawing scale.
Before we even open up illustrator let s talk about the scale we ll be using for our floor plan.
I have done a lot of architectural and constructional drawings and find illustrator immensely useful amongst other things for calculating timber requirements and that sort of thing.
I will say as an interior designer floor planning in adobe is not the norm it s comfortable convenient and quick for me so it feels like like second nature at this point but i was honestly.
For today s purposes the scale for our drawing will have one foot equal to one inch so if we have a room that s 16 feet long it ll take up 16 inches in illustrator.
Centimetres for metres inches for feet and so on.
