Description
The compact car block is a front elevation drawn to scale, 68¼″ wide and 53⅛″ high (1735 × 1348 mm).
The download comes as two DWG files for AutoCAD 2000 and later, one in inches and one in millimeters, both with the base point at 0,0.
Check it against the garage: single doors are usually 8–9′ wide and 7′ high (2438–2743 × 2134 mm). Next to the 6 ft figure in the drawing above, it comes up to about chest height.
Common questions
How big is this compact car block?
It measures 68¼″ wide and 53⅛″ high (1735 × 1348 mm) in front elevation, taken from the outer edges of the drawing. The page shows the same sizes in both units next to the drawing.
Which units does the DWG use?
Both. cadgrid-compact-car-front-elevation_in.dwg is drawn in inches (INSUNITS 1) and cadgrid-compact-car-front-elevation_mm.dwg in millimeters (INSUNITS 4). Insert the one that matches your drawing at scale 1 and the block comes in at its real size.
What size is a standard parking space?
Typically 9′ × 18′ (2743 × 5486 mm) in the US, though local codes vary. An accessible car space is at least 96″ (2438 mm) wide next to a 60″ (1524 mm) access aisle.
