Sorry I can't help with a drawing. I don't even use blue prints, and for my last 2 cages I didn't even bother with writing down my measurements.
The cheapest and nicest looking design is to use 1x2s with the corners cut at 45 degree angles. Put together to build what is basically a window frame. You will need to build 7 of these. 3 large ones for the sides and the back, 2 smaller ones for the top and the bottom and a medium sized one paired with a smaller one where the 2 combined are the same size as the 3 larger ones. These 2 are your door and your bottom frame for under the door.
After you build these frames, paint them with a polyurethane stain or paint. Then cut and fit your screen. Then assemble the frames.
