How do you add a scale bar to a drawing?
If you know the scale of your imaging method, then you can use this method.

You can change the size, color and location of the scale bar, too.
How big is the scale in Adobe Illustrator?

Why do you need Adobe Illustrator to make a floor plan?
For example, in an assignment for one of my Information Science classes a few years ago, we had to put together a floor plan of the old cafe in the basement of Wells Library and record information about how people interacted with the space – so the ability to make a floor plan can come in handy in unexpected places.
How big should a room be in Adobe Illustrator?
Set the dimensions to one inch larger than the dimensions of your room (remember, it’ll be scaled down to 1 ft = 1 in) – so if you have a room that’s 16 feet by 12 feet, you’ll want to enter in 17 inches for the width and 13 inches for the height.
How do you divide a room in illustrator?
Illustrator will take care of dividing values for you. You’ll likely also want to indicate the size of objects and features you’ve included in your room – you can do this with the Type tool. Simply click on the Type tool in the Tools panel to activate it, then click near the feature you’d like to add text to.
