Free CAD block from the Living and dining room furniture library (167 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Round dining table for five with shell armchairs, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, the front and side elevations projected from its 3D model with hidden lines removed. It measures 8' 7" wide, 8' 7" deep and 2' 7" high (2.62 m × 2.62 m × 80 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.

In practice
Where it goes
Five shell armchairs around a round table make a plan group for a boardroom, a hotel breakfast room or the dining zone of a large open-plan house. The square 8 ft 7 in (262 cm) footprint already includes the armchairs pulled out, so place it on the floor plan centered under the pendant and off the main route.
Clearances to leave
Around the 8 ft 7 in × 8 ft 7 in (262 × 262 cm) footprint add 36 in (91 cm) for the shell armchairs to slide back, or 44–48 in (112–122 cm) where a route passes. A room of 14 ft 7 in × 14 ft 7 in (445 × 445 cm) is the comfortable minimum; five diners at 28 in (70 cm) each fill the rim.
Pairs with
Pair it with the Ceiling-hung fireplace with curved open firebox dividing it from the sofas, a Cluster of four cone pendant lamps centered above, and the Potted bamboo with grassy underplanting along the window; shells in white with oak legs.
