The living room has been absorbing other rooms for a decade — as median new-home size fell, the separate formal living room and the separate family room collapsed into one open volume doing both jobs. What that costs in drafting terms is that the room no longer has four walls to plan against; it has seating zones, circulation paths between them, and a boundary with the kitchen and dining areas that exists in furniture rather than in framing. The templates here cover a conventional living room, an open great room, and a family room or den. Seating distances to the television wall and the walking routes between zones are drawn as clearances.
The great room is drawn as one volume with living, dining and kitchen zones; the walls shown are the ones that are actually built.

The second seated room: informal, usually next to the kitchen, and the one the household actually uses when the living room is being kept for company. Around 15 by 17 ft, or as small as 11 by 12 when it is a den.
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.
30 of 121 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.
The main seated room of a house: a couch facing a television wall, a coffee table between them, and a continuous 36 in path that gets a person through the room without walking between the couch and the screen. Usually about 14 by 18 ft.
