• The horizontal cutting plane line for this top view
passes between the upper and lower window sills or
one meter above the floor line.

FLOOR
PLAN
• In multi-storey buildings, a separate floor

same arrangement and features, one
typical floor plan representing all the
identical floors will suffice to be drawn.
