Wikipedia, Dec. 31, 2014 (Floor plan. In architecture and building engineering, a floor plan otherwise known as a Scottish plan is a drawing to scale, showing a view from above, of the relationships between rooms, spaces and other physical features at one level of a structure. Similar to a map the orientation of the view is downward from above, but unlike a conventional map, a plan is understood to be drawn at a particular vertical position (commonly at about 4 feet above the floor). A floor plan is not a top view or birds eye view. It is a measured drawing to scale of the layout of a floor in a building. A "top view" or "bird's eye view" does not show an orthogonally projected plane cut at the typical 4' height above the floor level.)
