Person with short hair in mid-stride
Free CAD block from the People in plan and front view library (50 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Person with short hair in mid-stride, drawn in plan view. It measures 16½" wide and 2' 11" deep (42 cm × 90 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
A long-striding plan figure with short hair, head drawn as a simple oval, for showing movement on floor plans: a hospital corridor, a school corridor at bell time, a retail mall, a site plan walkway. The stride is a full step, so it marks a fast walk; use it along escape routes and main circulation spines on fire plans and wayfinding layouts.
Clearances to leave
The stride measures 2 ft 11 in (90 cm) from heel to toe, the same as a single-file corridor width, and the body is 16½ in (42 cm) across, so a line of them in single file needs 36 in (90 cm) each way. Space them 24 in (60 cm) apart in a line, and allow 48 in (120 cm) wherever two routes cross.
Pairs with
Walk it beside the Mannequin figure mid-stride with arms by the sides at a different pace, and on a hospital plan run it past the Three-seat sofa with separate bolster back and arm pads.
