PDSlax Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi there. I’m trying to create a model of a school building floor plan for a colleague, and I made the mistake of creating it at a scale where one foot in the application is equal to two feet in the actual building. I drew up the initial plan just fine, but when I added windows, doors, etc., things went awry. Is there a way I can either double the size of the existing floor plan or reduce the size of doors, windows, openings, furnishings, and so on? It would be awesome if there were a way to simply double the size of the basic layout. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you do that? The drawing is always 1 to 1, and gets scaled when printed. 15 minutes ago, PDSlax said: Is there a way I can either double the size of the existing floor plan or reduce the size of doors, windows, openings, furnishings, and so on? No to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDSlax Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I didn't set up the application for that scale; instead I just used that scale informally. That is to say, when my colleague described a room that is 20' by 30', my plan for that room in Home Designer Suite was 10' by 15'. I thought this would give the app less data to manage and reduce the lagginess that happens when the plan gets more and more complex. In any case, I have simply redrawn the floor plan at a regular 1:1 scale. I wanted to reply to your posts to thank you for writing back to me and to make sure that my signature showed which version of Home Designer I'm using. Thanks!
