Blue Print Grid in feet

[Zoey Pexie]

there use to be a sandbox where you could build on a real scale grid. Im building a house in sl for my rl. Im trying to see what 30 feet by 40 feet looks. Can anyone help me find this place again?

I don't know the sandbox but you could try the following :

Copy this 10ft x 10ft grid texture from here :    https://content.invisioncic.com/Mseclife/monthly_2022_02/1846534030_Grid10x10ft.png.e9acb35c5609deaaa2d2d17a8e89e23a.png  (for  the full 1024 x 1024px size) and upload it to SL :

 

For a 50ft x 50ft  build platform:

Rez a cube and resize it to   X = 15.240,   Y= 15.240   and  Z =0.01.

Texture the platform with the above texture and set the Horizontal repeats to 5 and vertical repeats to 5.

 

Now you will have a platform marked in feet and inches to build on.

To prevent accidental selection of platform while building set the platform to Locked :
