Open bookcase with four shelves and a divided lower section
Free CAD block from the Living and dining room furniture library (167 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Open bookcase with four shelves and a divided lower section, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, all three projected from its 3D model so they match to the millimeter. It measures 3' 3" wide, 6' 7" high and 12" deep (1.00 m × 2.00 m × 31 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Living and dining room furniture library: 167 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.

Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 3' 3" wide, 12" deep and 6' 7" high, is free to download in STEP, DXF 3D, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. It is a closed part, so it also prints at 1:50 or 1:100 for a scale model.
