Mannequin figure carrying a long narrow plank
Free CAD block from the People in plan and front view library (50 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Mannequin figure carrying a long narrow plank, drawn in plan view. It measures 16" wide and 2' 10" deep (41 cm × 87 cm), 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 in plan and front view library: 50 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
In plan the plank runs alongside the walker as a long thin bar, which makes this figure the tool for checking corridor corners, door swings and freight elevators in a workshop, a theater scene dock, a lumberyard or a self-storage plan. Run it around a corner on the layout and the board will show whether the turn is too tight. Plan view.
Clearances to leave
Plank and figure measure 2 ft 10 in (87 cm) along the walk and 16 in (41 cm) across, so a 36 in (90 cm) corridor leaves almost no room to turn the board; give 48 in (120 cm) each way at a corner. An 32 in (80 cm) door passes the figure but not a sideways board.
Pairs with
Upright, the same carrier is the Mannequin figure holding a tall plank upright. Send it through a scene dock behind the Mannequin figure mid-stride with arms by the sides, keeping the Boxy armchair with wide wraparound frame out of its path.
