How to read an Architect’s Scale UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

What is an Architect’s scale? A triangular shaped instrument used for making or measuring scaled drawings such as blueprints or floor plans. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Scales can be made of wood, plastic, or aluminum. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. The scale can be read from left to right and right to left. 1/8” scale would be read from left to right and the ¼” scale would be read from right to left. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

What does “drawn to scale” mean? On a scaled drawing, a small measurement is used to represent a large measurement. For example, one-fourth inch (¼”) on the plan may represent one foot (1’) in the real world. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

One word….. Two different meanings 1. The actual instrument used for drawing and measuring 2. The unit of measurement that plans are proportionally drawn to ¼ ” = 1’ UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Floor plans for residential structures are usually drawn at ¼” = 1’. Commercial buildings may be drawn at 1/8” = 1’ if they are too large to fit on the desired sheet size at ¼” = 1’. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

Step 1 Determine the drawing scale. Example 1 UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

Step 1 Determine the drawing scale. Example 2 UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

Step 1 Determine the drawing scale. Example 3 UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

Step 2 Find the matching number on the architect’s scale. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

Step 4, Using the scale to draw. To drawn your own prints, determine the length of the object to be drawn, then scale it down accordingly using the architect’s scale. For example, using the 1/8”= 1’ example, a wall 20 feet in length would become 20/8 inches, or 2 1/2 inches on the blueprint. UNT in partnership with TEA. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.
