Grid Paper – Use Calc as a Architectural Design Tool

Written By: stephanie on July 10, 2009 No Comment

PC Mag suggests that we can Use Excel as an Architectural Design Tool.

So why not use Calc, as it has the advantage of being able to specify the ’squares’ quite easily, as row height and width is set using measures (cm or inches), rather than column width being set as a measure, and column height being set using font height.

We are rennovating at the moment, so this struck a chord with me, so I decided to put together some templates for you to download – a small grid (5mm), and a larger grid (10mm).

Happy designing!
