Floor plan – proposed
The A-1 sheet: the design with dimensions, room labels and plumbing.
Plan · Permit plans
Permit drawings straight from the design.
The plan you designed on is already the plan the building department wants to see. Export it in black and white with dimensions, plumbing, the electrical sheet and a title block, and show existing and proposed side by side.
- Side by side on one sheet
- Existing | Proposed
- Floor plan and electrical sheets
- A-1 · E-1
- PDF paper sizes
- Letter · A4 · A3
- Area caption for the whole space
- 1 sq ft total
How it works
Proposed is your design. Existing takes minutes.
- 01
Design the proposed space
Everything you placed on the floor plan is the proposed layout: walls, openings, cabinets, plumbing fixtures and electrical.
- 02
Set up the existing plan
Open Permit plan – Existing & Proposed. The existing side starts from the same walls, doors and windows; add the objects that are there today, or duplicate the proposed layout when it is the same.

Export the set
Choose the pages and the paper, and download a PDF with the title block filled in from the project.
Drawn like a permit set
Black and white, line weights, and nothing the reviewer does not need.
Permit pages leave out color and cabinet sizes. Walls are drawn in section, openings with their swing, and plumbing fixtures are always shown: sinks (labeled SINK in the kitchen), toilet, tub, shower and drain, dishwasher and laundry.
- Overall and wall-segment dimensions on every side
- Room labels that all read the same way on a wall
- One area caption for the whole space, for example 69 sq ft
- Largest standard architectural scale that fits, with a scale bar
Title block
Your project's details on every sheet.
Project name, address, client, sheet title, scale, date, sheet number and your notes sit in a title block along the sheet. Long text wraps or shrinks to stay inside its box.
In the set
Pages you can choose for each export.
Existing & proposed
Two plans on one sheet, each with its own caption, for example EXISTING GUEST BATH and PROPOSED GUEST BATH.
Electrical sheet
The E-1 sheet with legend, switching, circuit schedule and code notes.
Floor plan + electrical
The floor plan with the electrical points on it, without the legend.
Permit check
Before export, the check points at what a reviewer would ask for, such as missing receptacles in a kitchen or bath.

Good to know
- Imperial dimensions in feet and inches, or metric
- Layer switches for dimensions, labels, fixtures and electrical
- Kitchens, bathrooms and every other space type
- Pages saved to the project's documents for sharing
- Regenerated from the plan, so they never fall out of date
- Your office name on the title block
Modula prepares drawings; it does not stamp or submit them. Your jurisdiction may ask for more sheets or a licensed professional's stamp.
