I was wondering if there was a convienent source for building floor plans. I can design a twisting dungeon just fine, but whenever I try to map out a building they never seem right.

I've been having this issue recently too. images.google.com searches for 'floor plans" brings up some basic ideas, but I had more luck with the 12 to Midnight packs. They're not exactly re-usable though.
I'm now considering Fractal Mapper 8 - friends of mine swear by it, but I'd be interested in your collective opinions on how well it works in SR. |

A GM once told me that it was possible to get info from colleges and federal buildings thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act, but I have been unable to find anything useful. I'll definitely check out 12 to midnight though, the preview looks really good.

Google image search "floorplans".
EDIT: Also Floor Plans and 3d floor plans. |

Why go with hard choices. Use property agencies like Re/Max. They come with street view, balloon view etc.

That link was originally in another thread here, but I can't recall who originally posted it or which thread it was in. Great site for floor plans though. |

It's funny, when I first clicked on the 70,000 sq ft office building it showed the bottom floor and I couldn't help but think of the first adventure from the Harlequin book. Both offices have a very similar layout, with this one being a little bit bigger.
