Person with hands clasped in front
Free CAD block from the People in plan and front view library (50 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Person with hands clasped in front, drawn in plan view. It measures 15" wide and 18½" deep (39 cm × 48 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
The smallest plan figure here, hands clasped and feet together, for standing behind a reception desk, beside a store register, at a concierge station or in an elevator car. Its tidy footprint is the one to use when counting how many people fit in an elevator or a small waiting area. Plan view, matching the woman in skirt suit.
Clearances to leave
At 15 in (39 cm) wide and 18½ in (48 cm) deep the figure is compact, so behind a desk a 36 in (90 cm) staff zone leaves 16½ in (42 cm) to turn around. In an elevator car plan, set them on a 24 × 24 in (60 × 60 cm) grid and the count will be realistic rather than optimistic.
Pairs with
The Woman in skirt suit with hands clasped in front is its elevation. Place it behind a counter facing the Person reaching one arm far out for handshake, with the Tub armchair with channel-pleated back and pillow in the waiting area.
