How it's used
Primarily used in architectural, real estate, and interior design contexts to describe the layout of a space from a top down perspective. While it can technically refer to any two dimensional diagram, it is almost exclusively used for building layouts in daily life. When discussing a specific room or property, it is common to prefix it with the location or level.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 地圖, which refers to a geographic map of a city or area. Using 平面圖 to ask for directions on the street will sound confusing to locals.
