  1. On the File menu, point to New, point to Maps and Floor Plans, and then click Site Plan. By default, this drawing type opens a scaled drawing page (scaled drawing page: A drawing page with a drawing scale, such as 1/4" = 1' or 2 cm = 1 m.) in landscape orientation Wide page. You can change these settings at any time.
  2. To incorporate buildings into your site plan, do one of the following: HideDraw outlines of the buildings
    Click the Drawing Tools button Wide page to display the Drawing Tools toolbar, then use the Line tool Button image or the Rectangle tool Button image to draw outlines of buildings.
    HideInsert a CAD floor plan

    2. Under Files of type, select AutoCAD Drawing (*.dwg, *.dxf). Locate the CAD (CAD: Acronym for computer-aided design.) file and click Open.
    3. To accept the size and location of the CAD drawing, click OK. After you have inserted the drawing, you can resize it, change its scale (scale: A measure of the relationship between actual distances and distances represented in a Visio drawing. For example, a floor plan might have a scale of one meter of actual distance to one centimeter in the drawing.), or move it. You can also lock the Microsoft Office Visio layer (layer: A named category of shapes. You can organize shapes in your drawing by assigning them to layers. You can selectively view, edit, print, or lock shapes on layers.) that contains the CAD drawing.
    HideCopy and paste an existing Visio floor plan drawing into a new drawing
    1. Open an existing Microsoft Office Visio drawing.
    2. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Scale tab. Make note of the scale setting in the existing drawing, and then set the scale of your new drawing to match.
    3. In the existing drawing, select the shapes you want to use in the new drawing and then, on the Edit menu, click Copy.
    4. Switch to the new drawing, and then, on the Edit menu, click Paste. Tip You can lock the layers of a drawing so that you do not accidentally change them when you create a new plan on top.

    1. From the horizontal and vertical rulers, drag guides and position them on the page to mark the locations of the site perimeter, stalls, and roads in the drawing.
    2. From Parking and Roads, drag curbs and driveways onto the drawing page.
    3. From Parking and Roads, position parking strips, stalls, and islands on the drawing page. Glue their endpoints (Begin point image - green square with X insideor End point image, which is plus sign in a green square) to guides. HideTips
      • To reposition parking stalls, drag the guide to which they are glued.
      • To keep the alignment of a shape from changing while you move the shape, press SHIFT.
    4. From Vehicles, Site Accessories, and Planting, position vehicles, parking accessories, and landscape shapes around the parking strips and stalls. Glue their endpoints to guides. Tip Use shapes from Annotations and Dimensioning to add labels or dimension lines to your site plan.
    HideAdd landscaping elements
    • From Garden Accessories, drag fence shapes and gate shapes onto the drawing page.
    • From Sport Fields and Recreation, drag recreational equipment shapes, such as a pool or a swing set, onto the drawing page.
    • From Garden Accessories, add patios and walkways by dragging shapes onto the drawing page.
    • From Irrigation, add irrigation equipment by dragging shapes onto the drawing page.
  4. Add plants by dragging shapes from Planting onto the drawing page. Use the Plant callout shape to label plants. You can record the plant's common name and foliage type as shape data.
    HideEnter shape data
    1. Select the shape, and then on the Shape menu, click Shape Data.
    2. In the Shape Data dialog box, click in each custom property field and type or select a value.
