Office floor plan: sample DWG file with furniture, fire safety devices, escape routes and architectural template

A complete floor plan of a small office building at 1:100: an open office with 22 workstations and a lounge, a lobby with reception desk, lift and stair, two meeting rooms, women's and men's toilets and a corridor. On top of the layout it carries the fire safety design: extinguishers, manual call points, smoke detectors, sounders, an alarm panel, emergency lights and exit signs, with the escape routes drawn on their own layer and ending at the entrance. Doors and windows are marked D and W, rooms carry tags with areas, and the sheet has overall and chain dimensions, a room schedule, a fire safety schedule, a door and window schedule, a furniture schedule, a north arrow, a scale bar and a filled-in title block. Every symbol is a block at real size with its attributes filled in (marks, device types, zones, locations, areas).

Free to use and modify in your own projects, including commercial ones. The ZIP holds the sample drawing, a template, a plot style table and a README; no add-in needed. The data in the drawing is made up, so it is not for design or construction. Provided as is, without warranty.

This sample uses these resources

The symbols are blocks from our own libraries, with their attributes filled in. The sheet and its title block come from our ISO A3 title block template. Download them to draw your own diagrams.

What is in the ZIP

  • Office-Plan-Sample.dwg
    Sample drawing (DWG, AutoCAD 2018 format)
  • Architectural-Template-ISO-A3.dwt
    Template (DWT) that the drawing was made on
  • CADXChange-Monochrome.ctb
    Plot style table (CTB) that prints every colour black
  • README.txt
    README with the layer list and how to use the files

The template

The architectural template has 10 layers with colours, line weights and linetypes (walls, floor finishes, hidden elements, column grid, symbols, escape routes, tags, dimensions, text and notes), the text styles ISO-2.5 to ISO-5, the dimension style ISO-25 and an ISO A3 layout with a title block and revision table. The layer names are a common convention, not a standard; rename them to match your company's rules.

Layers defined

Every layer in the template with its colour, line weight and linetype, and how many objects of this sample are on it. Layers the sample does not use are still defined, ready for your own drawing.

Sheet and drawing setup

How the sheet is set up, so your own drawings print the same way.

Sheet
ISO A3 landscape, 420 × 297 mm.
Layout
One layout named ISO-A3, plotted at 1:1 on full-bleed A3 media, so the sheet has no printer margin.
Border
20 mm from the left edge (binding side) and 10 mm from the other edges; the drawing area inside is 390 × 277 mm.
Model space
Units are millimetres. The drawing area is shown at 1:1, so 1 mm in the drawing is 1 mm on paper.
Title block
160 × 79 mm at the lower right, with a four-line revision table above the company, project, title and approval fields.
Text size
2.5 mm for labels and notes, 3.5 mm and 5 mm for headings.
Linetype scale
1, so dashes are sized for plotting at 1:1.
Plot style
None set. Pick the CTB from the ZIP in the page setup for black-and-white plots.

How to use it

  1. Open the sample drawing to see how layers, text and the title block are used, or open it in the browser first, nothing to install.
  2. Start your own drawing from the template (NEW, then pick the DWT file). Copy the CTB file to your plot styles folder if you want black-and-white plots.
  3. Insert blocks from the symbol library into your drawing. The blocks in the sample are copies; they do not change when a library changes.
  4. Double-click the title block to fill it in, then export the equipment list with BlockSync.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the drawing for a real project?
As a starting point for layout and layers, yes. The ratings, settings and cable sizes are made up, so the diagram has to be checked and changed for your project before it is used for design or construction.
Why are the layers coloured?
Colours and line weights follow the layers: power circuits are red and heavy, control is cyan, signal is green. The plot style table in the ZIP prints everything black and keeps the line weights, so you can plot in black and white as well.
Which CAD programs open it?
The drawing and the template are in AutoCAD 2018 format, which AutoCAD 2018 and later open, and so do other CAD programs that read this format. The browser viewer needs nothing installed.
