I went with 10'x10' in center with 10'x8' doors on each side and walk in door on right side. I takes 36' wide to get 3 10' wide doors in. Mine is 36'x40'. Trusses are the key

Depending on the size of your building you might want to consider a Bend pak lift. They make a 4 post lift that you can install wheels on and move around. Pretty slick setup, when the lift comes down it levers wheels under the corners, 1 person can roll around. Love mine.

Hey..... THANKS guys. Tons of great information. This is the awesome thing about fabo. Anything you can think of to ask about there will be someone that can help. I'm already changing plans and haven't started construction yet. Better to change now than later. Thanks again for all the great ideas now all I gotta do is figure out if I have more time or money to do this (probably not enough of either). lol.

Good luck with your project. Most stick buildings are built on 16 inch centers. If you think you might want a substantial exhaust fan for painting and things, you might want to frame an area accordingly. Like a 2 foot window with a header but down low. My 2 cents.
