This article will explain the differences between the standard site plan & Storyboard document. The Storyboard doc comes with a range of customisations including page sizes, scales & multiple display options that can be adjusted for every page.
The standard site plan within Canibuild is set to always display in A3 or Tabloid (11 x 17″ or 279 × 432 mm) & will always work to the main two set scales unless the boundary exceeds this. This is where the Advanced Site Plan comes in with the flexibility to adjust every variable.
