What is an "architect's scale"?
An architect's scale is a tool used to measure and draw scaled drawings in architecture and construction. It is a triangular ruler with multiple sides, each marked with different scales, allowing for accurate measurement and conversion of real-world dimensions to a smaller size on blueprints or plans. The most common scales on an architect's scale include 1:10, 1:50, and 1:100, among others. The tool helps architects, designers, and builders create detailed plans that represent the actual size of a building or structure. It is essential for ensuring accuracy in design and construction.
