Diagrams with geometry in excel

Your link offers a $12.99 solution that appears to meet your requirements; is price an obstacle?

No price is beside the point. I dont need the solution to that particular problem, I am interested in how to make such a figure in excel. whether it be for different thickness in pavment types, spacing between staggered holes for joining I beam sections, etc. A visual representation of data would make for much easier interpretation in some cases, and I think it makes a very professional spreadsheet.
