Looking for plan view fireplace shapes?
In later versions of Visio, they seem to have disappeared!
I went looking for these after yet another user posed the question “Where the heck are they?”
First, I looked in my stash of stencils saved from 1994’s Visio 3.0 Home. I found the stencil, but it was so old, it was corrupt.
Luckily a little more hard drive mining turned up Fireplace Shapes.vss. This is a stencil I built the last time someone asked me for these shapes, but I hadn’t ever published them to this site.
While not works of art, these original fireplace and wood stove shapes do save you a lot of time if you’re working on a living room design. Of course, they are intended for use in scaled drawings and work properly in such an environment.
Have fun dragging and dropping.
