37—Planos de Piso—Vista General Welcome again. Let's start reviewing the documents of the floor plan. This house has three floors. The house is integrated into a site on the hill. We have a basement or lower level, a first floor, and a second floor.
This sheet, A-2.1, shows the first floor. If I go to the next page, A-2.2, it shows the ground floor, and A-2.3 shows the third floor. So, I'm going to go back a few pages, and I'm back at my floor plan.
You can see that I have my parking area—it's right here. And here I have the shadow of the house, since it is covering the ground. So you can see that this house is correctly oriented on the site.
You can see that I have a north arrow down here that shows the north direction pointing upward. I have openings right here, here, and here for the garages. So, what I'm going to do is go to sheet A-2.2. Now, if you look down here, you can see that the north arrow is at an angle.
So, what's going on is that while in the site plan I show north as pointing up, the bottom of the house is actually positioned at an angle with respect to the paper sheet. Si presiono la tecla TAB hasta la hoja 2.2, puedes ver que el norte se va hacia arriba.
Porque aquí, aquí y aquí están las tres hendiduras que estaba mostrando para el garaje. Entonces, déjame volver atrás para asegurarme de que entiendes. Aquí están las entradas del garaje, aquí y aquí.
El norte está arriba, presiono la pestaña y veo que el norte está inclinado.
