How to convert construction drawings for a given scale?/ How to draw the construction drawing for the required scale? ~ PARAM VISIONS

When we draw on a sheet, we use a particular scale to represent the structure on the sheet.

For eg., we use a scale in the ratio of 1:50, 1:100, or 1:150, etc.

Now the question is, how to convert the actual measurement of the structural item to the required scale?

Example:

Let us consider a wall of length 6m. Convert this to a scale of 1:50, & 1:100 for drawing purposes.

Given data:

Length of the wall = 6m. = 6000mm.

The required scale is 1:50 or 1:100

Drawing length

= [ actual length in mm. or cm. × scale]

1. For 1:50 scale:

Drawing length

= [ 6000mm. × (1 ÷ 50)]

= 120 mm or 12cm.

2. For the 1:100 scale:

Drawing length

= [ 6000mm. × (1÷ 100)]

= 60 mm. or 6 cm.

Have a good day 😄.
