Both plans are used to illustrate a building's design, but their scope and objectives differ slightly. A layout plan is a bird's-eye depiction of the complete structure, representing the entire structure on a single page or on several pages, each displaying a separate floor. The location of each room and space in the building in relation to the other spaces and the surrounding land is depicted on the layout plan. In contrary, a floor plan is a two-dimensional representation of a single level of a structure that defines the placement of walls, doors, windows, rooms, and other features inside that floor. Usually, floor plans are used to show how each floor is laid out and to assist visitors in visualizing how the area is organized.
