How to measure and photograph your space :
Before you begin measuring for your eDesign project, the first thing you should know is that we'll need one floorplan for each room that is being designed and that the measurements should be preferred done in inches.
Measuring tips: It may be advisable to have someone nearby to assist with the measuring. Please do not use metric measurements.
Here is what you’ll need:
-
Tape measure
-
Grid paper or plain paper

Measuring:
1. On the top of your paper, label with the name of the room. This label should describe the purpose you intend it to be used for (i.e. Dining Room, Playroom, etc).
2. Draw the general shape of the room from a bird’s eye view.
3. Measure the overall room length, width, ceiling height and mark on your paper.
