North/plan orientation before layout not checked
Confirm plan orientation before layout. North arrows, grid bubbles, and room labels keep you from mirroring the work.
Stop if
- Which way is this plan rotated compared with the field?
Watch out
- Do not start layout from a rotated plan you have not oriented to the building.
Check
- Find north arrow/orientation.
- Match grid bubbles to field columns.
- Confirm room/area name.
- Check if the plan is rotated or enlarged.
- Ask before laying out if orientation feels off.
