A dining room is sized by one calculation: the table, plus a pull-out ring wide enough to get a chair back and walk behind it. A 60 inch round table with a full clearance ring needs a room a little over eleven feet square before anything else is considered, which is why the formal dining room lands where it does. The templates here cover a formal dining room and an eat-in dining area off a kitchen. The chair pull-out and the circulation ring behind it are both drawn, because they are the two dimensions that get squeezed first and cause the most complaints afterwards.
The dining room is among the first rooms cut when a plan has to lose square footage; these are drawn at the sizes that still work.

The everyday table off the kitchen: a 42 in square or 48 in round seating four, with 36 in of pull-out on the seated sides. Usually about 9 by 10 ft, and usually the only dining table a household actually uses.
The sheet carries the fixture clearances as drawn geometry on their own layer, with the dimension strings and room notes outside the walls.

"Verified" means the citation was checked against the source text we hold. "Unverified" means it has not been, and should be read as a pointer to look the section up rather than as a quotation of it.
21 of 76 checks graded, zero defects. This template is published because it graded clean.
A single room on its own sheet is not a whole building, so the checks that grade a floor plate — exit counts, circulation share, fixture counts against an occupant load — have no subject here. They are listed rather than counted as passes.
A dedicated dining room seating six, built around a 60 in round or square table with 36 in of chair pull-out on every side. That arithmetic -- 60 plus 36 plus 36 -- is the whole room: 132 in, or 11 ft square.

A dedicated dining room built around an oval extension table -- 72 in closed, 84 with one leaf, 96 with two -- seating eight at 24 in per seat, with 36 in of chair pull-out on every side and a sideboard on the long wall. The room is planned around the OPEN table and lived in with the closed one, which is the whole difference between an extension table and a fixed top.
