Setting up for a house blueprint
As a practical exercise I'm going to be creating a blueprint of our home using the 1800's Floorplans from the 2016 Annual (http://www.profantasy.com/annual/2016/april16.html).
I'm going to lay down a 5' square grid (on the grid sheet and a grid layer I've added) to help get things aligned and I'd like to be able to have a snap to every 1' that I can switch to when needed. Do I create a new entry with "5'Grid, 5 snap" to do this?

Don't be surprised, and certainly don't panic, if all your carefully taken measurements don't line up exactly. There are a surprising number of inaccuracies in the walls of any building - including the modern ones. My mum's house is presumably nice and straight, but when I put up the coving for her last year I discovered a 4 inch difference between the lengths of the two longest (and presumably parallel) walls of the living room! LOL!
I'd like to, in the end, have a nice image of the house I can use to map out areas for lighting and such to be controlled by a smart home hub (and Alexa). I thought this would make a good project to practice with CC3
but it's certainly a lot of drudge work to convert something real world rather than something imaginary.
