<p> [quote user="SpaceMouse"] </p><p>If you have not done so, it might be an idea to read my beginner's guide clickable from my signature. It will take you about 5 minutes to read. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I have several books on layout planning. Like I said before this is my third layout...my first room sized plan...I originally posted this to get input on the design and flow...not anything else</p><p> </p><p>[quote user="PLSWJR"]If your curve radius is 16" then the grid is on 24" centers. Left to right the curved portions add up to 96", this does not allow for the straight section in the middle.[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Like I said before the grid that is in the pic is not the grid...I dont know why the correct grid did not copy over...the original design grid was 18"...but I saved the pic to a bitmap to upload it to photobucket to post it here and somewhere the grid got retarded!</p><p>If you look at the pic...the left side is 3 foot wide and the right side is 3 foot wide leaving a 3 foot isle in the 9 foot wide room</p><p>The uturns at the bottom of each side are 32" leaving 2" on each side from the wall and the edge...so that is a 32" diameter or 16" radius curve. I dont know how to explain it any simpler than that.</p><p> </p><p>Since I will no longer be following this post replies are useless!</p>
