Description
2 views of the traditional fireplace, each drawn at real size: an elevation at 59″ wide and 102⅜″ high (1500 × 2600 mm) and a side elevation at 39⅜″ deep and 102⅜″ high (1000 × 2600 mm). The Fireplaces pack has it together with 21 other drawings.
Every tab has its own pair of files, inches and millimeters, in AutoCAD 2000 format with the base point at 0,0.
US codes (IRC R1001.10) ask for a hearth extension of 16″ (406 mm) in front of the opening and 8″ (203 mm) at the sides, or 20″ and 12″ for openings of 6 sq ft and up. Under the International Residential Code, a masonry fireplace hearth extends at least 16″ (406 mm) in front of the opening and 8″ (203 mm) to each side; 20″ and 12″ when the opening is 6 sq ft or larger. It is about 1.4 times the height of the 6 ft person drawn beside it.
Working outside CAD? The same drawing also comes as a DXF for other CAD programs, a PDF for printing, a PNG with a transparent background for slides and mood boards and an SVG you can edit in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of the traditional fireplace?
The elevation measures 59″ wide and 102⅜″ high (1500 × 2600 mm); the side elevation measures 39⅜″ deep and 102⅜″ high (1000 × 2600 mm). Each size is taken from the outer edges of that drawing.
Is each view in inches or millimeters?
Each view comes as two files: one in inches (INSUNITS 1) and one in millimeters (INSUNITS 4), named after the view, such as cadgrid-traditional-fireplace-elevation_in.dwg and cadgrid-traditional-fireplace-elevation_mm.dwg. Insert the one that matches your drawing at scale 1.
How far does the hearth have to extend?
For a masonry fireplace under the IRC: 16″ (406 mm) in front of the opening and 8″ (203 mm) beyond each side, or 20″ (508 mm) and 12″ (305 mm) when the opening is 6 sq ft or more. Check the manufacturer's figures for factory-built units.
Can I use this traditional fireplace outside AutoCAD?
Yes. Use the DXF in other CAD programs, the PNG with its transparent background in slides, documents and mood boards, the SVG to edit it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, and the PDF to print it or send it to someone without CAD.
