The second photo is the same Excel spreadsheet zoomed in. I can scroll right down and look at the smallest 4 x 6 foot sheep pen, or way out like this and get a few acres into view. This is a quick overview of my proposed sheep barn, the different colors representing phases of build, manure storage etc. But a quick drawing to post on Permies or for my own quick reference.I use Excel. It is very limited, but I use paid for programs for drawing buildings, blueprints and houses. To this old duffer it looks like the old 1/4 inch graph paper that we used to have and so I can draw scale drawings with that. If you set the column widths to 3 and leave the rows at 18 it looks like 1/4 inch squares.
