People in Pool CAD Blocks — Four Bathers Seen from Above

About this block

Four bathers are drawn from directly above in red linework on layer 0: a woman kicking inside a plain swim ring, a woman reclining on a round float patterned with spots, a man sitting in a ring with his legs in the water, and a man stretched out on a slatted air lounger with one arm behind his head. Each bather and float is a single block reference, four inserts in total, and the linework goes down to fingers, toes and the seams of a swimsuit.

Pool and landscape designers scatter figures like these over swimming-pool plans, hotel and resort layouts and roof-terrace drawings, usually at 1:100 or 1:50 where the water is shown as a hatch. Two swimmers in a lap pool tell a client more about its size than a dimension string does. Keep them clear of the coping and the ladder so the pool edge stays readable.

The geometry sits at a very large scale, over 316,000 drawing units across the group of four, so use scale by reference and set the lounger length to 2 m instead of guessing a factor. Afterwards set the colour to ByLayer so the bathers plot in the same weight as the rest of the entourage, and put them on a layer you can freeze for the setting-out sheet.
