Floor Plan Drafting
There are two different types of floor plan drafting. They are:
Def. 1: When a floor plan drawing is newly drafted from scratch.
Def. 2: When the floor plan of an existing structure is measured, and then drafted.
Floor plan drafting of existing structures could also be known as a specific form of As-Built Drawings, a Building Survey, or an Existing Conditions Survey.
Additional Terms Defined
The word drafting as it is used within the AEC industry, is:
Def.: The craft or trade of creating technical drawings.
Architectural, Construction and Engineering drawings are examples of technical drawings. Nowadays drafting is done using CAD software, whereas once it was done by pencil and paper.
The word plan, or the phrase plan view, as they are used within the AEC industry mean:
Def.: The top-down view of some object of interest.
In other words, the plan view of a house for example, would be the perspective that a bird would have if it were hovering above the house and looking down upon it.
