[edit] split into two stubs

I've played around with the size and posistioning of the images as best I can, but I still think that its less than ideal. My proposed solution to this is to split the two stubs, one for the archeticural term and one for the electronics term, but I would like input into the new locations. The options are presented in decresing order of preference for me (ie. my first choice is 1, my 2nd choice is 2 and my third choice is 3). Thryduulf 21:52, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] option 1

  • the artichecture stub is moved to Floor plan (architecture)
  • the electronics stub is moved to Floor plan (electronics)
  • Floor plan becomes a disambig

[edit] option 2

  • the electronics stub is moved to Floor plan (electronics)
  • the architecture stub stays here and a link to the electronics stub is placed at the top.

[edit] option 3

  • the artichecture stub is moved to Floor plan (architecture)
  • the electronics stub stays here and a link to the architecture stub is placed at the top.

[edit] Merge

There's not enough detail here at the moment to warrant splitting up. So contrary to the above, I propose merging this article into the more general Plan view. - Sticki 22:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Split

I started with this article after plan view had been merged with floor plan, and after a great deal of stuff had been added regarding house plans. Because plan view is geometry related and is applicable to more disciplines than floor plans, I have split it out again and expanded it. It is still a stub, but is a good companion to elevation (view) and cross section (geometry). The lists related to house plans were so specific to that discipline, they needed to be removed from floor plan, which I have done. Perhaps there it can successfully become a larger article related to House design without bogging down floor plan. What floor plan could use is some history. Otherwise perhaps it just gets merged into Plans (drawings).--Jrsnbarn 14:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PNG

Keep in mind that the PNG file format is much more suitable than the JPG file format for floor plans and technical drawings. JPG is more suited for photographies.


[edit] US Floor Plan

I'm curious as to why clarification is needed (on the first floorplan example) to state that it is a U.S. floorplan. If it _is_ needed, I'm curious why the second isn't also listed as a U.S. floorplan example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.201.198.48 (talk) 16:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

As no one answered this, I'm going to remove the "US" out of the first image. Greg Vernon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.201.198.129 (talk) 01:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How does the term 'line' fit into this?

I'm wondering why there is a redirect from "Line (building)" when the term line is not mentioned in the article. How is the term used, what relation does it have to the article? Rexparry sydney 03:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


Usually, when creating a floor plan several different lineweights are used, that's all I can think of. Greg Vernon
