One feature of a well-designed residential floor plan is the wall stud. The wall stud is used to show the basic outline of the house and then wall sheathing is placed around the wall stud to show the sheet rock. When I got the floor plan of my house, the first thing I noticed was the angled walls. It was something that really stood out to me because I hadn’t seen that in the first house I made, but I quickly learned how to draw them. Another feature is the doors which are necessary for all houses. Doors are very easy to draw but there seem to always be a lot of them which is tedious but required. Windows are another feature of a well-designed residential floor plan because all houses need them. The last and most important feature is the dimensioning. Dimensions are used to show how far apart things around the house are. We use dimensions very frequently when copying a house and when we finish the house, we are then asked to draw our own dimensions so that someone could use our floor plan to draw their own house.
