Figure walking with arms held out from body
Free CAD block from the People silhouettes library (53 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Figure walking with arms held out from body, drawn in front elevation. It measures 2' 7" wide and 5' 2" high (79 cm × 1.58 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
From the People silhouettes library: 53 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Arms held away from the body give this walker a wider, slightly hurried silhouette, suited to a market hall section, a pedestrian bridge elevation or a beach promenade on a landscape board. Set it on a ramp or a wide path, where the outward arms read as balance, and keep it away from narrow door openings in the elevation.
Clearances to leave
The outstretched elbows push the outline to 31 in (79 cm), so a 36 in (90 cm) path is nearly full and a 48 in (120 cm) one is the sensible minimum where other figures are shown. At 62 in (158 cm) tall it falls below the reference adult, useful when a handrail drawn at 36 in (90 cm) must look right for shorter users.
Pairs with
Group it with Figure walking with both arms swinging and Figure walking with one forearm raised to show a stream of walkers; set them on a continuous ground line with their shadows all cast the same way.

Design notes
- Street trees are usually planted 19' 8" to 32' 10" apart, at least 3' 3" from the curb.
- A parallel parking bay is about 6' 7" to 8' 2" wide and 18' 1" to 19' 8" long.
- People and cars at real size give clients an instant sense of scale in a facade drawing.
