Transition from Traditional Blueprints to 3D Home Design

Traditional (Old-Fashioned) Blueprints

Traditional blueprints can only offer a limited view of a home’s design because they are two-dimensional (2D). Blueprints are also visually difficult to read because they have to be drawn to scale, a very small scale to be more accurate. Because the scaling is so severe, it is necessary to draw the blueprints on large sheets, typically 24” x 36” to make the design as accurate to size as possible. These large sheets are inconvenient to work with, difficult to make copies of, and expensive to reproduce.
