        Re: drafting paper —Miles Gentry
     (...) "overhead" paper provides a medium for sketching "plan" views, ie, looking straight down at the tops of brick studs. The other paper offers an "elevation" view, ie, looking at the side of a wall marked for plates because 3 plates high = 1 (...)

         Re: drafting paper —John Matthews
      hmmm, I wish I had read further before I replied to Stephen's post a few minutes earlier. I think that an isometric grid would not work too well without some distortion. Since the stud side is a different measurement that the other sides (except (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)
     
          Re: drafting paper —Steve Bliss
      (...) I'm not remembering the exact, specific definition of 'isometric', but I've produced some isometric-type graph paper that is quite useful for LEGO designing.

         Yes LEGO did make drafting paper! —Gary R. Istok
     TLC actually did make a drafting type paper back in the 1960's. The Architectural Sets (#750, #751, #752) each came with several sheets of this paper, which looks more like graph paper. Each box within the grid was the size of a 1x1 brick. The (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)  
    
         Re: Yes LEGO did make drafting paper! —Jeff Stembel
     (...) Lego also included some sheets in early Brick Kicks magazines. The boxes in the grid were the size of a 1x1 plate. Jeff, "Thallid Lord" Save the Whales! I may get hungry later... :) ICQ #66153738 (URL) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)  
    
         Re: Yes LEGO did make drafting paper! —Suzanne D. Rich
     In my DACTA Control Lab manuals, there are some graph papers as well. Pitsco- LEGO DACTA still sells the books ($87/set ouch!). The one titled, "Control Lab: Technology Investigations and Inventions" has paper. All 1:1 Here's the text. Invention (...)

        Re: drafting paper —John Matthews
   Hi Stephen, I just made some paper like this last weekend, except mine had both grids on it so that you could draw 3 different orthographic views (1 plan, 2 elevations). Mine is in AutoCAD, and not quite finished so I won't upload it (unless (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
