What's in the file

Three blocks
BED_SLEIGH_EMPIRE_EAGLE_PLAN, BED_SLEIGH_EMPIRE_EAGLE_FRONT and BED_SLEIGH_EMPIRE_EAGLE_SIDE. The plan's insertion point is the back-left corner; the elevations sit at floor level.
Layers
The outline is on layer 0 with ByBlock colour, so each block takes the layer you insert it on. Detail lines are on I-FURN-DETL and dashed hidden edges on I-FURN-HIDN, so you can switch either off.
Size
W 1473 × D 2350 × H 1080 mm. Measured by the museum, so check it against the piece you're specifying, and scale it if yours differs.
SketchUp
The DXF for SketchUp is the same block with a surface in every closed area, so the Paint Bucket fills each one in one click. Import it with Merge coplanar faces ticked: how to import it.
Use
Free for your own projects, including drawings for clients. Please don't share it as part of a block library.
