5 yrs architecture college + 2 years apprenticeship + 16 yrs professional practice using the metric system, then moved here in the US....dammmm it's like I'm back again to 1st year college trying to learn how to use the imperial system🤣🤣🤣...thanks to you man, you give me hope on this new path of mine👍👍👍
Thank you for the video. I am taking classes on Print reading for construction, recently took a quiz about reading architectural scale, and to be honest it lost me. My professor sent me this video and wow, you made it easy for me to understand it. Thank you
You are a great teacher. I just bought my 1st triangular ruler (like the one my dad used when i was a child) and im 62.. i was hoping to learn but wondering how complicated they were to use. You really do a great job explaining how to use it! Thanks to you, a simple plan for a building permit to build a woodshop can be accurately drawn.
Thank you for the video I’m turning to read prints I work in the dirt world and never had the time to learn and your video made it a bit easier for me.
Well done, I am teaching three teeagers how to read a tape and a scale ruler. You were concise, to the point, and I will have them watch your video. Thanks for the good work!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I am in a landscape design course and was having trouble figuring out how to properly use this scale. This straightforward video provided easy-to-follow examples that helped me understand the Architectural Scale. Thanks again!!!
Nice tutorial! I have worked in structural steel over 20 years. Mostly as a fabricator on the shop floor. Spending a lot of time reading shop drawings with some time on arch. Drawings too. I want to open my own company. But for now I took an estimator position for a sister shop that does (our overload work) haven't really used a scale since high school drafting class. Been relying on my job project managers and contractor detailers to help me through some details. These vids are big help!
Thank you for making this video. It is helping my Interior Design students, learn how to use the Architectural Scale in designing their Tiny House model for an assignment.
I'm doing HVAC in new construction houses,and some times is very difficult to get the range hood o micro vents centers,this video helps me a lot to know how to get the centers,thanks a lot.
Thank you! Your video did the trick for me. I was hung up on the inch scale part. I now understand that it needs to equal 12" and the value of each tick needs to be determined by calculation.
I just started a college blueprinting class and was reading the textbook chapter on scales and couldn't understand for the life of me. A quick youtube search later and your video unraveled the mess in my brain in less than 10 minutes. Thank you!
Not me watching this when I have an architectural midterm in two days 👀 Edit: BOYS I GOT A 97 ON MY MIDTERM, AND THIS GUYS VIDEO WAS LITERALLY 1/4 OF THE QUESTIONS
Excellent! When I worked in the sign business, I was never far from an architect's scale. My boss taught me the cross-scale, this is for drawings that were not to scale-one can still use an architect's scale as long as you have an overall height or width.
Thank you for this video. This helps me for my construction trades course work and I can better understand an architects scale now as I was having a hard time with it.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy Something tells me it may be other people from my school, ha! Seriously thank you so much! I struggled to scale out and draw the room we measured from class but after watching your video I was able to knock it out after 15 minutes. Getting there!
Not gonna lie I haven't used one of these since 2014, when I did orthographic projections in my high school shop class. Recently bought one and some other equipment and am trying to get back into it, I really needed the refresher though.
Hello, Thank you. this video saved me. Now I will clearly explain the situation to my workshop friend. Since I am in a different part of the world, I am aware of metric scales. Just a small Q. how 3/32 or 3/16 can be replicated? Thanks again.
Thank you sir very good knowledge. I have a 1 question how to count how much lumber I need for projects for example I’m building 12x10 shed any formula sir thank you
Hello. I'm really simple minded... so I just think through the project from start to finish, breaking down each task to come up with what I will need. Then, I add about 10% more material to come up with the total amount of lumber needed.
Hello, I have a question about the 16 scale side. For each inch does it equal 10' or a different measurement. I'd love to hear your day on how this works. Thank you and appreciate your videos!
hi ,im a drafter student and my cousin send me a floor plan so i can practice measuring.but i try to measure exactly the same way you did, but its seem like my measurements are smaller then what it says on the plan,the plan says its 21' in a 1/4" scale equals 1'but when i do the measurements it comes out to 7' on the scale.what am i doing wrong?
On the page where you used the 3-inch scale, how did you know to use that scale? Also this did clarify the scale itself. Especially the 3-inch reading. I'm in a print reading class for my job, and figured I should know this before the next session.
I'm reading my scale and it makes a whole lot of difference my problem is reading the little marks | on each scale like between theres 1/8 , and 3/8 ,1/4, 1/2 but on 3" scale .
Architect student here, I am trying to recap my lessons since my professor didn't review scales with us step by step. How can you solve 1:1 or 1:2 without a scale?
Great quick and easy lesson - but one question! My planning dept requires me draw a site plan at 1" = 20' scale. Where can i find a ruler that will give those dimensions? Or what do I do?
I haven't seen a ruler that does that but I'm sure it's out there. How accurate do you have to be? It's easy to get down to the foot but anything in inches would be tough just using the 1" scale.
Great and very helpfull videos mate, especially for new woodworkers like me. Can you follow up with a metric one for people from my part of the world .....pat
Hello sir I have problem in autocad like units and drawing scaling if I draw drawing in inches and how I can set the proper units and which show in 1'-6".
Thank you for the video, you have cleared up my confusion on different scales but my question is this: If I have file emailed to me and to see the area in question I enlarge the plan on my computer screen, does the scale still work correctly?

LOL! Glad I could help you learn our complicated measurement system.
Dude, you just saved my ass for my exam which is in literally 45 minutes. Thank you
Good luck Nick, let me know how you do.
Lol
how you did in the exam?
Daniar Onoz absolutely crushed it
@@Nick-ky5yn I’m glad man!
Thank you! Im new in the country and also new using this kind of measurements, I'm an Architect from Colombia and your video helped me a lot! !
Welcome to the US Jorge! I'm grateful you took the time to comment. Stay in touch.
@Angela Tunglut in the US they use imperial system. Everywhere else metric!
@@davidking8903 3 countries actually use the metric system.
(United States, Liberia, and Myanmar)
Can we be friends? Lol
@@CheetoPuff111you mean the Imperial system. Everywhere else uses Metric. The US uses Imperial, which was in this video.

We are taking this in college, and you explain it better than the professors there.
I'm glad this helps you.
What a fantastic lesson! Easy to follow, clear, concise, well articulated and demonstrated as well. Just subscribed.
Welcome aboard Wesley! Let me know if you need help with anything... I'll do what I can. 👊

You sure earned that like buddy!
Very clear explanations. Thank you!
Hell there Thanks for sharing you knowing. Cheers.

Also this did clarify the scale itself. Especially the 3-inch reading. I'm in a print reading class for my job, and figured I should know this before the next session.
The scale the drawing is drawn in is normally printed on the page.
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Amazing explanation! Do you have a video on the Alphabet of Lines by any chance?
I do not.. sorry.
Great video! Very easy to understand 👌🏼 and very useful!
Glad you think so!
I'm reading my scale and it makes a whole lot of difference my problem is reading the little marks | on each scale like between theres 1/8 , and 3/8 ,1/4, 1/2 but on 3" scale .
Great video thanks !
You are welcome!
Is there a video explaining how to add dimensions?
Thank you!!
Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Thank you.
can you do the version of this sing the global metric scale please it will help a lot as you explain very well
what version is this?
You are awesome thanks 👍
Architect student here, I am trying to recap my lessons since my professor didn't review scales with us step by step. How can you solve 1:1 or 1:2 without a scale?
Very helpful Video thankyou
Glad it was helpful!
is thr any video in regard of explaining whole architectural scale in one video in detail..also with doing some beginner draughting.
I used to wonder what those rulers were for, wow lol now I know...thanks
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks I can do maths and use a sextant but flipping this dang ruler around got me tied!
Lol
Dang broskie

Can you plase make a video using metric system. Thanks
that's for getting straight to the point
Thank you very much
Great and very helpfull videos mate, especially for new woodworkers like me. Can you follow up with a metric one for people from my part of the world .....pat
Good .. thanks for ur explanation
I learned more in 30 seconds of this video than reading my textbook
Perfect!
thank you vermy ,much sir
Hello sir I have problem in autocad like units and drawing scaling if I draw drawing in inches and how I can set the proper units and which show in 1'-6".
Thanks! Learned a lot
Liked and subscribed 👍 great video
Thanks for the sub!
I need this sloweeed down some, I am a beginner..
You can do that right in the YT player.
Nice 👍 video thanks
architectural scale ruler amazing
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video, you have cleared up my confusion on different scales but my question is this:
If I have file emailed to me and to see the area in question I enlarge the plan on my computer screen, does the scale still work correctly?
No the scale will be off.
How do we measure 5/16" and 3/8" on a 3"=1'-0"
It would just land between two marks for 5/16"
If I want to draw out plans for something such as a piece of furniture or maybe a planter, what scale would be best to use?
It really depends... I'd maybe start with 3/4 scale.
love this, thank you!
Thank you
