So I'm drawing a scale drawing of
A room (Yes, I know what a Scale drawing is) and I don't know how to do it adding proportions....
and what does it mean to
Use dimensions to scale the room?
Care to explain?
Convert all the dimensions of the room to whatever scale you are using.
That kind of helps...:)
but I need more info.
But I really, really appreciate you answering!
What specific sort of info are you seeking?
Well, when you say:
"Convert all the dimensions of the room to whatever scale you are using"
can you really explain what that means?
I'm terrible at this!:-|
How big do you want to make the drawing?
Suppose you wanted to make it no more than 8 inches by 8 inches. If you used a scale of inch on the drawing equal to 2 feet in the real room. If your room is 10 feet by 12 feet, your drawing would be 5 inches by 6 inches.
Oh, thank goodness you answered
Ms. Sue.
I did this yesterday and it took forever even with my tutor guiding me and then today I lost the scale page. Now I have to do it all over again. Oops! Good luck.
Bob is making a scale drawing of his garage which is 10 yards long.If 1/2 inch represents yard, how many inches long should the drawing be?
Of course! When creating a scale drawing of a room, it's essential to maintain proportions to accurately represent the room's dimensions. Here's how you can go about adding proportions and using dimensions to scale the room:
1. Start by measuring the dimensions of the room using a measuring tape or a laser distance measuring tool. Measure the length, width, and height of the room in feet or meters.
2. Choose a scale for your drawing. The scale determines the ratio between the dimensions of your drawing and the actual dimensions of the room. For example, if you choose a scale of 1 inch : 1 foot, every inch on your drawing will represent one foot in real life.
3. Multiply the actual dimensions of the room by the scale factor to determine the dimensions of your drawing. For example, if your room is 20 feet long and your scale is 1 inch : 1 foot, the length of your drawing should be 20 inches.
4. Use a ruler or a T-square to draw the walls of the room in your desired scale. Make sure the lengths of the walls on your drawing match the scaled dimensions you calculated earlier.
5. As you add furniture or other features to your drawing, use the same scale to ensure accuracy. If you're drawing a couch that is 8 feet long, for instance, it would be represented as 8 inches on your drawing using the 1 inch : 1 foot scale.
By using dimensions to scale the room, you are essentially determining the proportional relationships between the actual room and your drawing. This allows you to accurately represent the room and its contents in a scaled-down format.
Remember, it's important to double-check your measurements and calculations to ensure accuracy throughout the process.
