>For instance if you are looking for scale drawings of modern cargo ships to use as a map I’ve found “general arrangement and capacity plan” to be a useful term to search for.

This is one of the drawings I found using that.

Since this plan is metric and the game system I'm using uses imperial, I needed to make a scale indicator for sizing a grid for it.

I did this by opening up the image in GIMP and using the rectangular select tool to measure the the pixels in one of the measured dimensions on the plan. (I used the distance between the AP [aft perpendicular] and FP [fore perpendicular])

GIMP can do measurements in pixels or imperial so after crunching some numbers I was able to figure out how many pixels tall or long 5 feet would be on the image and added a labeled 5 foot bar on to the map to help when scaling the grid in roll20.

For the OP pic map it was easier to convert since all I had to do was make a 5 foot bar in GIMP, shrink it to 1:200 scale, and paste it into the map since the Frasier apartment is labeled as being 1:200 scale.

lol Europe turned 90 degrees.

Does anybody have advice on where to find floor plans or scale layouts of offshore oil rigs or at least their living quarters area?

Any advice for making a map of a large museum would be greatly appreciated.

>>51091829

what kind of museum is it?

Do you want just the exhibits or do you want all the storage, work, and machinery spaces that the public don't get to see?

What subjects they cover and what exhibits and artifacts they are responsible for will effect how it is set up.

>>51091869
It's intended to be a sort of omnidisciplinary museum. Some history, some science, some art and culture, lots of stuff. I know those aren't really a thing, but being locked in here is intended to be a multi-session event. The idea is three stories and a basement, with two offshoot buildings with corridors leading to them, probably with each floor/building being focused more on a certain field.

And just the exhibits, really: this is supposed to be in the same style as maps that visitors are shown in brochures or on signs, to help them find their destinations. The machinery and whatnot does exist, but it won't be on the maps.

>>51092038

then I would pull up some example floor plan maps and museum maps on google images and take cues from those. and make something similar in Photoshop or GIMP.

IRL museums tend to be limited in subject matter, even the multi story ones.

try searching for maps or floor plans of things like art museums, or maritime museums, air museums, military museums, ect.

How do you store your maps to keep them from getting ruined when you don't have them out on the table?

If you like this, you may be interested in https://tao-dnd.blogspot.co.nz/ and his habit of writing a million words and creating spreadsheets for trade and... well, not that. But his maps are ridiculous. http://tao-of-dnd.wikispaces.com/General+Index http://tao-of-dnd.wikispaces.com/Sheet+Maps

I'd post the whole world one, but even with blur-o-res it's too large a file.
