Architect here: the scale 1:100 means 1cm on the page equals 100 cm in real life (or 1 meter). The scales are in cm, not mm like he explains in the first part. Which is why when he draws the house 20mx40m is 20cmx40cm on his page. If it had been in mm, like he explains in the first part, the scale 1:100 would mean 1 unit is 10 cm. So his drawing in the second part would have to be 10 times bigger than what he drew. I hope it helps.

Bruh this really helps knowing we're in the middle of this pandemic and sadly I'm a module base student which means SELF STUDY and surprisingly after a while we have to make a floor plan and other architectural thingy . A seniorhigh drafting student here! thanks for the infos!
Wow! Thank you so much! After trying for - I won't say how long - I finally understand how to draw to scale. I am not a student of architecture but I have been trying to work out this process as I have been working on creating an extension for my home and in order to do that I was really stuck at this point. No matter who explained and what I read in order to understand "how to draw to scale" I could not wrap my head around the method - but thanks to your tutorial I finally do get it!
It is and it isn't. ☺️ There are parts of it I would dearly like to hire someone to do but financial constraints prevent me from going there. So the job will probably take longer than the normal time lines - but I am sure I will get there.
This has helped a lot thank you !! I feel like i can actually understand better what I’m doing now, rather than just jump in my projects and hoping I did it right.
This was great. Thanks. I came to this video because I saw that James Cameron made the Titanic model at a 20:1 ratio and when I saw the picture of the model, it seemed impossible that making the model 20 times bigger would actually match the real length of the Titanic. It seemed like the Titanic would be much bigger in real life. But now I realize I was wrong in my assumption.
Wow, great explanation bro. Its help me a lot, its easy to understand in this video than in 2 hr lecture. Keep posting videos like this or this field. Just more appropriate you bro.
Thank you for this! I'm really having a hard time when I'm doing a floor plan with given measurement and scale, I somehow understand how the conversion works. But the humor and the jokes of this video got me too 😂 especially when you are using ruler but making a wavy line yourself instead haha 😂 cool!
Yes, understanding scales is a whole topic which is underrated. Scales can mess you like nothing else. So, Yeah it's much better to understand what they are.
woooow..... it's just opened my eyes actually... I was always asking myself about that weir sale numbers that all talk about ...thank you sooo much ... I have a question there to ask ... how to Develop a scaled Furniture Plan?
Hi Inna! Thanks for the comment. A scaled furniture plan would essentially follow the same principles talked about in this video, the scales might be bigger at 1:5, 1:10, 1:20 rather than a typical floor plan at 1:50, 1:100 or 1:200
Thank you for this! I really appreciate it. Can you do a part two for calculations in practice time.. I really struggle with this side of things; "plan to ground"
Going from A3 to A4 or indeed A1 to A2 (ie 1 page size down), the scaled size is not 50%, it is actually about 71% of the original size. Add the "fit to page" option everyone seems to love to use which adds an additional margin to your original page size and it comes to about 67%. People also seem to mix this percentage up with scale, this is why I think the 1:67 scale comes up.
Can u tell us how to like take size like u took 20:40 size randomly but how can we think like that, how to know the dimension that will fit our floor plan?
You might have to guess for the first couple of tries as I did and solve it through elimination. Otherwise, knowing the size of an A3 page (297mmx420mm), you can figure out that 20,000mm (20m) divided by 100 = 200mm. Therefore, 200mm will fit on an A3 page as it's smaller than 297mm, and likewise 40m at a scale of 1:100 is 400mm which is smaller than 420mm, meaning it will fit. I hope that helps
I need to draw a line with a 1:50 scale ruler, I need to know how much do I round up or down for instance if I have 8462mm do I stop the line at 8450mm. How do you get the 12mm on this scale. increments go 50,100,150,200... 609 for example would I just round down to 600? Any help much appreciated
Typically I round up to the nearest 5mm. For example, if I have a measurement of 8462mm, I'd round it to 8460. If your ruler only has 50mm increments and you want to draw a line at 8462mm, you would find where it says 8450 and 8500 and draw slightly past 8450. If you want it to be more precise, you would use a scale with 1mm increments. Hope that helps
I am currently studying interior design and were supposed to draft furniture plans and elevations. please tell me to w hats the best scale and page size to use.
Can you do a video on how to use the (feet and inches) calculations, like (1’/32”, or 1’/67”), just the American version of what u’ve just done, please 🙏🏻
Hi ana! Thanks for the comment. I haven't worked in kilonewtons much before, but I don't think it's possible to convert kN to meters as they are used to measure different things. You can convert between millimeters and kilometers, for example, but kN measures weight not length.
Hi, I love your channel. Thank you for your videos, they are very very helpful. Could you make a video about how to read scale bar and how to make scale bar for your drawings, please? Thank you ☺️
How do I convert floor plan drawn at 1/100 scale to 1/4 scale? If the length of the room was 4,236 would I then divide 4,236 by 4 to get my 1/4 scale dimension?
Coolness. Scale is pretty tough. I think scale is exponential coz' you can't just divide the actual measurement to the measurement (miniature version/scaled down) you want. Also how do you know the scale, what scale you this be: the actual measurement is 20mm but I want it to be 2.72mm? God bless, Rev. 21:4
My teacher explains for half an hour and can’t just get to the point like saying use rulers to make sure it’s straight and u know the measure like yeah I know that, no need to explain the purpose of it I know I will use it no matter what
Trying to make a Plot Plan 1:20 when I originally started it in 1/16" - 1'-0" using a CSize 18"x 24" Paper. I tried 1:20 and the Image was too big, but it fit at 1:100, hopefully that's ok, or what's your opinion ?
but how is it to read a scale bar on a floor plan? i mean, I kind of struggling when I found a floor plan for my reference but did not understand how to read them because they use the scale bar
I've been struggling with this my whole life, you just made it so much easier and simpler .

when he said 40 meters with scale 1:100 that means 40 centimeters//
(40m*100)/100 equals 40cm
