Crime Scene Sketching

Use a measurement table  for the evidence in your sketch. The table is adaptable to any coordinate system  (triangulation, rectangular, baseline or even radial). The table may help in  reminding you to measure the heighth, which is frequently overlooked.  Eliminating needless measurement lines will rid confusion by making your sketch  look cleaner.

Instead of walls you can use corners or baseline measurements.  All work in this chart.  Always think of the HEIGHT of the object.  Note that you can use North Wall and West Wall (or any other combinaton that makes sense) from room to room... just use that wall in that room and it will be easy to document in this style... and the sketch stays clear of confusing “measurement lines”
