About this block

A single figure viewed from straight above, sitting with the arms drawn in towards the body and the hair tight to the head, with a filled shadow spreading away to one side. The body accounts for a little over half the width and the shadow the rest, so the insert as a whole measures 0.99 by 0.70 m. The fill is on the BONGDO layer while the figure itself is on DIENHOA and DIEN HOA.

One shaded figure is often all a plan needs: on a balcony, a bench, a jetty or a small terrace, a second body would crowd the space it is meant to explain. It works at 1:100 for site plans and at 1:50 where the arms still read. Set it near an edge, a rail or a step, since that is where a single person in a plan looks deliberate rather than dropped in.

The shadow is a solid fill, so it will come out black on a monochrome plot. Move it to a screened layer, or give it a light grey colour and a plot style that prints at 20 or 30 per cent, before the sheet goes out. If your renderer already casts shadows, delete the fill entirely and keep only the figure outline on its own layer.

Questions

Why does the shadow print solid black?

It is a filled area, not a hatch. Put it on a screened layer or assign a plot style at 20 to 30 per cent so it prints as grey.

Is the figure life size?

Yes. Figure and shadow occupy 0.99 by 0.70 m, so the body alone is the plan footprint of a seated adult, drawn in metres.
