2. Basic Principles
You will be given graphical information about an object from which you can take dimensions.
These dimensions are used to produce a Planometric drawing which is a kind of 3D representation of the object.
In a Planometric drawing, all dimensions are true lengths so there is no perspective.
Planometric drawings are most frequently used for representing rooms with furniture or equipment.
