Seated person with one arm bent and one extended
Free CAD block from the People seated and standing library (54 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Seated person with one arm bent and one extended, drawn in plan view. It measures 2' 3" wide and 21" deep (69 cm × 53 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 seated and standing library: 54 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
One arm bent to the ear and one extended is a seated person on the phone or taking notes, so it goes on office plans, call-center layouts, a reception desk plan and a restaurant terrace. Put it at the receptionist's chair on a hotel plan or at every other desk in a call-center layout.
Clearances to leave
The extended arm takes the width to 27 in (69 cm), so desks for this figure need 28 in (70 cm) of frontage each, slightly more than a 24 in (60 cm) place, and 40–48 in (100–120 cm) behind the chair for the wheel-out. Its 21 in (53 cm) depth leaves the desk top clear beyond the hand.
Pairs with
Pair it at adjoining desks with the Seated person with both forearms reaching forward, with the Mannequin figure seated, knee raised, arm reaching out in the section. In a living room it sits in the Slim-arm armchair with lumbar pillow by a phone table.
