How will you draw the floor plan on graph sheet of the home you created in Sketchup.com?
Day 1:
As Students has already designed the house last week in Sketchup.com. After designing the home tell students to draw the floor plan of the house on the graph sheet as per the scale chosen. They will measure all the dimensions of the house and change them to the dimensions of the model with the help of format provided using the appropriate scale factor. It will take them a day or two to find the dimensions and draw the layout/floor plan.

Day 2:
After finding the dimensions of the model the students will draw the floor plan on a graph sheet. This will help students to translate the information from one to another form.
