Its popularity should come as no surprise, given its utility for architects, planners, developers and the wider public. As a clear diagrammatic representation of space, a floor plan can help people to understand the layout, circulation and key features of a building at a glance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all architects will be familiar with the classic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/track.fiverr.com\/visit\/?bta=57781&amp;brand=fiverrhybrid&amp;landingPage=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiverr.com%2Fcategories%2Fgraphics-design%2Farchitectural-design-services%2F2d-drawings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2D floor plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, complete with hatches and door swings, there are occasions when a more artistic drawing style is called for. These instances might include presenting plans at a public meeting, explaining a proposal to a client during the initial stages of a project, or when creating a marketing document for a real estate developer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For these scenarios, the goal may be less about showing exact dimensions for construction purposes, and more about conveying the tactile or atmospheric qualities of a space, showing how floor finishes vary and where spatial boundaries are introduced. There are many ways to portray plans to meet these needs, but here are 5 of the most popular styles to consider for your next project.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>1.

Textures can be added quickly by converting your CAD file into a PDF, opening it in Photoshop and then applying textures downloaded from the web on a different layer. This technique is not intended to be a literal interpretation of finishes, but rather aids the viewer in differentiating between different parts of the building and the thresholds between them. it can also help communicate the boundaries of key exterior features, such as paving, road surfaces, trees and plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>2.
