  • Question
    Is it okay to use a ruler for a floor plan?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, but if you're using a 1-foot ruler, use a lot of patience or invest in a longer one if you're staying with the sticks. Or get a tape measure and use the 1-footer on smaller spaces.

  • Question
    Will the measurement of a room using a different person's foot will be equal or not?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    A foot is a unit of measurement, not the actual length of a person's foot. One foot = 12 inches.
