FIA Monthly: Scale Conversion Tools, Scale Reference Guide, New Details
Scale Conversion ToolsWe’ve just added a set of free tools to help you get to grips with drawing scales in architecture — mastering drawing scales is definitely one of those foundational elements that can feel tricky at first. These nifty tools help you with various tasks you might come across in your studies or work. Scale Converter This tool helps you quickly translate between real-world dimensions and scaled drawing sizes (and vice versa). Reverse Scale Finder Got a drawing but not sure what scale it’s in? With this tool, you can measure one dimension you recognise and get an estimate of the original scale. Paper Size and Drawing Layout Helper Not sure what scale to use to fit your design on an A3 or A1 sheet? This tool takes your real-world drawing dimensions and suggests appropriate scales that will work with your chosen paper size, accounting for margins and orientation options.
That wraps up our news for June. Hope you are having a great start to the summer. Thank you for being here, for reading our emails and for spending some time on our websites. Your support, comments and feedback mean a lot 🙂 All our best, Emma and the First In Architecture Team |
