John-

Thanks so much for your site and generosity of knowledge-much appreciated.

I'm preparing to build my project studio and have been admiring your SAE garage studios (both 1 and 2) for some time, but havebeen a little mystified by the ideal scale for these rooms. I was curious if you could slap some dimensions on these plans and repost them?

I'm an architect and could scale and interpolate from the plans, but your approach is much more dimensionally specific then my scaling would be...of course if they were .dwg or .dxf files, I could do it myself.

I hope this isn't presumptuous - I couldn't be more appreciative of your help.

Thanks
jpmanis

jpmanis - check out Sonar Studios at the Studios Under Construction site at

http://johnlsayers.com/Studio/index.htm

It's a garage style studio construction and there is a pdf. file of the plan.
Otherwise I can make a .dwg of it for you.

cheers
john

John-

Thanks for the reply - Sonar looks great.
Could I take you up on the offer of a .dwg file?

It would save alot of trouble to be able to stretch the length around and measure the angles of walls within ACAD.

Thanks again for yor help!

yes- it opened as a dxf, and I was able to write it to a dwg.
I've got to sort out the solid fills and layering to get back to the linework, but it should be fine.

I'll let you know when I've got it all together.

Thanks again
John

cool - I was wondering about the scaling. When I created the file I had options on scaling so I selected Metric.

Hope it works.

cheers
