Bob and Sparky talk about how to read an architect's scale. Architect's scales are used to make and read drawings made to a specific scale. For example: 1/4 inch equals 1 foot.
Terrible Instructor took over 30 minutes with a fancy power point to explain this to the class and we were like huh.... 5 mins of this video was all the info i needed. Thank you so much
Sir, you are the BEST teacher on all of these concepts. I show your videos to my middle school PLTW students. Your work is superior to any curriculum I have seen. You are a gentleman and a scholar like Ben Franklin who gave away his ideas and intelligence without worry of income as he was bettering society. Thank you. I have used your videos for years. You never fail me!
Is it because of too many lines? It is a challenge, but they are not so many to count of! Better technique of saving time and to get faster to the point: find the middle/center and count the big lines between! The 3/4 scale ruler has 24 (4 x 6) sections having a total value of 12". So, then 1/2 values 6", 1/4 line - 3". As soon as each 1/4 is divided in 6 sections - each section/line has a value of 1/2" (3" /6 = 1/2")!
I am an Aerospace Engineer recent graduate that I just started working at a consulting engineering firm designing HVAC system and I am being exposed to Architect drawings and did not know much about Architecture scales but after watching this video everything is crystal clear. Thank you very much.
my grandpa gave me his old drafting set, I've never used one before...this really helped me understand what I'm doing now, thank you very much. This makes it MUCH easier than using my tape measure to draw things up
these triangular rulers came with some blades I got for scrapbooking (can you tell, I am definitely not an architect) so I was thoroughly confused. I learned so much from this video, this is just about the coolest thing on my desk now. Thank you for this info!
I love this video! I would suggest you make one for reading a architect's metric scale ruler... I know it is fairly easy, I'd love to add it to my online resource file!
The same technique is for all kind of measuring systems! The only you need: to know terms and values of the system you want to use, as: 1cm =10mm, 1m = 100cm = 1000mm, 1km =1000m,.....A master mast have few scales from different systems to be able to work with!
I love the sense of humor. My favorite part is Sparky's "Today" thought bubble. That gave me a prolonged belly laugh which provided the endorphins I needed once I discovered that my "two question" homework assignment for HVAC actually required taking over 50 measurements. Of course it was due that day! Practice makes perfect. Architect's rulers are cool! Thank you, Bob. Ap-paws!
And I thought at the beginning of the video that this was another stupid video, this video is amazing, great information in a short video, thank you very much Sir
never took a architect class nor needed this type of ruler until recently. I have learned not only to read this but passed the test on this video. VERY well done explaining this. I can now show a fellow co-worker on how to read it as well
Mannn, I love this video... i went from thinking it was impossible to dancing from the excitement of getting the answers correct lol.. thanks to the team and or individual that took the time to make this video.. i know it took you longer than 7 mins to make it but the video only took 7 mins to make a difference!! BIG THANKS!!!! and posted 7 years ago ironically lol
How do we figure out the correct size of the drawing shall we print out? for example 24x36 or 18x24. how do we know what's the right size of the drawing to be print out
I was taking a course and for some reason just couldn't comprehend what the heck they were talking about for an hour and a half. What do you know some stick figure and a dog taught me in 7 min. It doesn't matter how smart your teachers are it doesn't matter if you not a good teacher.
I watched a couple videos and this is the only one I understood lol. Tomorrow is my midterm for my blueprint reading class and i feel like I’m ready. Thanks!
3” = 1’? Take a close look at it...see how it looks like a miniature ruler on one end? It probably has 12 inches on it just like a regular ruler but smaller.
The most challenging one, as it looks, because of many lines! Take you time and define a value of a single section from the inch ruler! Let's do the math and a fast technique: No need to count all the lines from the inch ruler to get the value! Lets cut to the 3 and to 1 - we count 3 big sections with 2 longer lines in between (0 and 3). Counting them to 1 (inch ruler value), we get 8 sections, where center has 1/2" value, 2 long lines = 1/4" value, and every short line = 1/8" value! Summary: On 3 scale ruler: the inches long lines between a whole number = 1/2" (don't confuse with the longest lines!), smaller = 1/4", and each smallest = 1/8", corresponding to the # of divider (if 6 sections, 1 = 1/6, if 8 sections - 1/8, if 12 - 1/12, if 16 - 1/16....1/32! Pay attention what legend says about the scale: is not a rule/law: 3 scale ruler value means 1" in a life dimension! Ruler has its value, print scale - its own! When the print scale says: 1" = 20', you must do the last operation - to transfer the founded value from the scale ruler to the value based on print scale! Ex: if 4' - 2" is the scale ruler value, what is the life dimension based on 1" = 20'?
ola boa noite! ganhou mais um escrito no canal,parabens pelo video muito legal mesmo gostei,de mais da conta,tenho um escalimentro desse nao tinha nem noçao de como usar ele graças a seu video vou começar a praticar muito obrigado por tudo um forte abraço👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
