model plans


Explanation:
Typ = type, model

'Model plans' is often used in a context re. architecture, design of homes etc. I have included an excerpt from a website below:

"The size of the rooms you are furnishing is an important element in selecting every item for your home. It is a good idea to draw up a floor plan of your home and sketch in different sizes and arrangements of furniture to see how you can make the best use of the space you have. You may want to buy one of the room planning kits that are on the market and have instructions for drawing scale >>model plans<< of rooms and items of furniture. (Some retailers will assist you in drawing up a floor and furniture plan but there may be a charge for this service. Find out in advance.)"

It is true that this site refers to floor plans rather than furniture, but 'model plans' is not limited to floor plans!

Good luck with the translation!
