People CAD Blocks — Four Reclining Figures in Plan

About this block

Four figures lie in a row, all drawn from above and all on a layer called furn: one sprawled on its side with both arms up, one on its back with the legs stretched out straight, one with the arms raised in a V and the head tucked between them, and one curled tight with both hands lifted towards the face. Each is a separate insert, four in total, and the row covers 2.25 by 0.80 m, so one body is about half a metre across the shoulders.

Loose top-view poses like these are what populate a beach, a lawn, a poolside deck or a gym floor at 1:100 and 1:50, where standing figures would look wrong from above. Put them on the grass or the decking rather than across a path, keep them clear of the pool edge, and vary the gaps between them so the group never settles into a grid.

Since the four are separate block references, drag out the one you want and delete the others rather than exploding anything. Rotate every copy through a different angle: a figure seen from above reads from all sides, which is why plan entourage survives repetition far better than elevation entourage. Park the lot on their own layer so they can be switched off for the construction issue.
