Mike After asking myself why;-) here's a quick and dirty method.
First measure the lengths of your walls with tape or disto. Lets say your room is 10 metres by 5 metres. Then divide this into theoretical grid squares of your choosing ie 1 metre squares. Pick a corner and call this 0.000, 0.000 (this is your bottom left of your living room "grid" if you drew it on paper). Diagonally across (ie top right corner) from this coordinate is 10.000, 5.000. You can then get any coordinate in the room from this grid. To get a z level (elevation) measure up from your floor and "set a level" one metre or whatever up, mark it with pencil etc. Will On Jan 31, 2008 10:24 PM, Mike Liebhold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm thinking of mapping my living room.
