A modular layout assembly is disclosed for facilitating the layout of elements within a space. The modular layout assembly comprises a plurality of modules, each configured and dimensionally scaled to represent an element and made of a magnetically attracting material. A layout board for receiving the modules is made of a ferrous metal and presents a substantially planar surface; the planar surface has a grid thereon for assisting the arrangement of selected of the modules on the layout board. A case is provided for carrying the layout board and modules, and comprises first and second sections hinged together to permit the case to be opened and closed. The first section has a pocket for receiving the layout board, and a mechanism for retaining the layout board within the case to facilitate the arrangement of selected of the plurality of modules on the layout board and for releasing the layout board to facilitate the copying of the arrangement of modules.
