    LESSON 1
    DRAFTING ELECTRICAL PLANS AND LAYOUTS
    • Electrical layout can be placed on the floor plan
    with all the other symbols, information, and
    dimensions. This is a common practice on simple
    floor plans where the addition of the electrical
    symbols does not overcomplicate the drawing.
    Another option is to draw electrical plans on a
    separate sheet that displays the floor plan walls and
    key symbols, such as doors, windows, stairs,
    furniture, cabinets, and room labels.
