Hi everybody. I found this house plan through images.google.com . [plan] But there are things I don’t understand what they mean or what they are for, what it really makes me confused is the door. [image] if that door is in the first floor what is it for?

Looks like the following, to me… The door is on the main floor, opening to stairs to the basement. That is a wall, but one with a sloped top and a railing going up to the second floor. The Double dotted lines seem to represent a beam. The single dotted line seeme to represent the line of the flo…

Thank you @TheOnlyAaron . I’m processing your review. I also thought about that door lets you pass to the basement but … the basement isn’t in the plan, right? I was to make sure. I agree with the double dotted line representing a beam About the second floor, how do you access to the red cross? …

One thing more. Do the railing start where the stairs start?

Aaron is of course point on. The meaning of lines varies across countries and different standards. In our parts this would read as a plan for alterations in an existing structure. The black fill means the walls are existing ones. The dashed lines would indicate a wall or a beam that is below the fl…

[image] Anssi: The basement stair ought to have a landing at the upper end. A door should never open directly into a staircase. Hehe, I think I’ve seen in several movies doors that open directly into a staircase where the basement is, but I agree it’s dangerous.

If only there was a simple way to represent that 2d drawing in 3D… Oh Wait a minute!! Something like this… [34 PM]

Thank you so much again @TheOnlyAaron I was about to upload three possibilities some of them made no sense when I see them once they’re drawn. According to your picture the “wall” with a sloped top and a railing should start from the beginning of the walls till the end as in this picture? [image] …

Generally, this is something that I would look for an interior elevation or detail or section for, but a lot of times the stair wall would look something like this: [20 PM]

I was thinking in something like this (but yours looks like a better solution): [image]

EIther way is valid… LIke I said, that’s where details come into play. With JUST a plan, you have to guess how a lot of that will work.
