Using a Scale Ruler;
Using a Scale Ruler; What is Scale and why do we use it. Designers and Architects use ‘scale’ so they can draw on paper a small replica of the real space, building or layout as it will be when built, but in miniature, so that everything is in proportion and you can carry the drawings around and work on them. There are different scales you can use giving you larger scale drawings or small scale. An example of this is if you look at the Deeds of your house you should find a ‘site location plan to scale’ at possibly 1:500. It just shows the outline of your property in relation to other buildings and roads etc It does not show detail of the building but … will show out-houses or drive ways. It also has a red line around your boundary which confirms the land your property will occupy and forms part of your contract on purchase. Architects will often use a scale of 1:100 to draw up an outline of a new building and it will show details of how the property is divided up into rooms, stairs entrances and different floor levels. Using the scale of 1:50 you can put a lot more detail in, showing basic furniture layouts within the rooms and identifying bathrooms and kitchens with fitted units shown and changes of ceiling height, floor levels and is often used for planning applications with a site plan or a plan at 1:100 depending on the type of application and the details required.

Scale and Dimensioning (Mechanical Board Drafting)
Youth Explore Trades Skills Design and Drafting – 2D Drawing Scale and Dimensioning (Mechanical Board Drafting) Description In this activity, the teacher will first select an object that is larger than the page and scale it to fit in the drawing area to explain metric scale. Second, the teacher will then dimension the scaled object using standard conventions. Students will use paper with a title block to complete this activity. Students will also continue to improve their skills with lettering techniques and lineweights. Lesson Objectives The student will be able to: • Complete a board set-up • Identify and appropriately use drafting tools • Differentiate lineweights by varying pencil pressure while creating scale drawings of objects • Determine the appropriate scale to ensure an object is proportionally drawn • Incorporate dimensioning standards • Refine lettering techniques Assumptions The student will: • Have a basic knowledge of drafting tools and equipment • Understand the basics of appropriate use of drafting equipment • Have previously drawn a title block for use in completing this activity Terminology Aligned dimensions: numerical dimension values that are aligned with the direction of the dimension line. The drawing therefore has to be turned to correctly read the dimensions. Border lines: thick, dark lines used to create a solid border around a blank page. Dimensions: a measurement of something in a specific linear direction. Most often this includes the length, width, and height of an object. Dimension lines: lines spanning the distance between extension lines; they have arrowheads and include a numerical dimension measurement. Drafting board: a flat, smooth surface usually covered in vinyl, which helps to hold paper affixed to it.
