How to calculate square footage

Create a detailed plan of your plot. Draw a top view so that the plan reflects all existing structures, distances between them, and a large planting (trees, shrubs, the weave of plants, which requires space). It makes sense to do a "doll": this is a layered plan, executed as a rule on vellum. On the first layer is applied to the circuit and underground utilities, the second building, on the third landing, etc.

Create a new drawing. Identify existing plan projection plot. Before you start to enter any specific size, specify the unit of measure. As the main unit, select meter. Then decide the scale of your project. For example, let it be 1:400.

Now explore the concept of azimuth. The azimuth represents the angle at a certain area located clockwise between the areas to the North and to the measurement point in a given area. You need to indicate the direction of the North. Prepare the fragment, consisting of only one line, which will be held vertically. As the line type, choose "invisible". Clamp the received line in two basic linear dimensions. Is the size vertically and horizontally. Select horizontal to 0 and vertical to select any denomination, as long as it was greater than zero.

After preliminary preparation of the basic contours of a future plan, go to directly to plan your land plot. Apply on the new plan of your plot 13 segments to be joined together. No matter how these 13 segments will be placed on the plan of the plot, their main task is to make a closed loop. Note all the points you have just created a closed loop. Then produce each of the marked points, insert the snippet that you previously prepared.

Once all pieces have been made, enter specific dimensional information. Each point with the insert fragment needs to obtain the size of the azimuth angle, and you also need to determine the distance to the next point clockwise. Put the sizes on all points, except the last. Its dimensions are control needed to verify correct the drawing.
