• Create a new document, and switch to the Arch Workbench.
• Open menu Edit → Preferences → Draft → Grid and Snapping and set:
  • Main lines every 10.
  • Grid spacing 1000mm to have a one meter-based grid, which is convenient for the size of our building.
  • Grid size 100 lines.
• On the snapping toolbar make sure the grid snap button is enabled, so we can use the grid as much as possible.
• If you do not see the axes then click the toggle draft grid button.
• Set the Working Plane to XY plane
• Zoom out and pan so you can see the area from (0,0) to (4,3). See the Mouse navigation for instructions.
• Draw four lines with the Draft Line tool. You can enter coordinates manually, or simply pick the points on the grid with the mouse:
  • From point (0,0) to point (0,3)
  • From point (0,3) to point (4,3)
  • From point (4,3) to point (4,0)
  • From point (4,0) to point (0,0)

NOTE: Due to a bug in version 0.18, make sure you do the lines in this order and this direction.
