Very useful material for planning a project with paper and pencil. The
"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 brick high.
The ruled lines print dark. This paper works well with an erasable pencil
if you draw beside the darkly printed lines on the inside of the group of
cells defining each of your brick. If you can print the lines as grey, then
you could draw over the same line as a printed grid line.
Has anyone tried to make isometric dot paper for drafting isometric views?
Enjoy sketching, Miles Gentry

Each box within the grid was the size of a 1x1 brick. The (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)
