Draw the plan shown below.
Use the dimensions of this to draw the 30/60 degree planometric view.
Estimate sizes where not supplied (e.g. door height).

3. PLANOMETRIC VIEW OF A KITCHEN
STEP 1 involves drawing an accurate plan of the room, including all of
the main features.
Draw construction lines to show where the outline of the plan will be situated on the paper.
Use the measurements given to determine which line should be drawn first and also where it should be drawn.

STEP 1 involves drawing an accurate plan of the room, including all of
the main features.
Draw construction lines to show the widths of the work surfaces- use the measurements given.
The Rug
The Door
Draw in construction lines to show where the centre of the rug will be placed
To draw the door you must first use your compass to draw in a construction line- this line represents the path that the door would take when opened.
Now measure off and mark each of the separate work surfaces.
- use you compass to mark in the circle.
Now darken in the drawing and mark off the centre line of the rug.
Now mark the door in the desired position.

STEP 3 is where the remaining details are added to the room.
STEP 2 involves re-drawing the plan of the room- this time rotated at 60*.
In a planometric drawing all vertical edges remain vertical and project upwards from the base.
Use the measurements given and draw construction lines to find the starting point for the rotated plan.
Using the measurements given draw construction lines to represent the height of the kitchen surfaces.
Project construction lines vertically from each corner on the rotated plan.
In this example of planometric drawing the plan is to be rotated at 60*.
Now project these heights along throughout the whole drawing (using the correct set squares) to show the kitchen surfaces
Now measure and mark off both the height of the walls and also the position of the work surfaces on the rotated plan.
Use the 30/60 set square to draw in the rotated plan.
section off each
surface.

STEP 3 is where the remaining details are added to the room.
Mounted Cabinet Estimate the height of the cabinet and draw in the top surface using the measurements shown on the plan.
The Door Mark the shape of the door onto the wall- estimate the height.
The Rug Measure off and mark in construction lines to find the centre of the rug.
Once again use the compass to show the path of the door when opened.
Use your compass to mark in the circle.
Project the height down from the corners of this surface (estimate the height) and mark in the base of the cabinet.
Now choose how far open the door is to be and mark in the top edge
Finally, draw in the centre line of the rug.
- mark the height of the door down from this new edge
and draw in the bottom of the door.
