Making a measurement smaller or larger, known as scale conversion, requires a common scale factor, which you can use to multiply or divide all measurements. To scale a measurement down to a smaller value, for instance, when making a blueprint, simply divide the real measurement by the scale factor. The scale factor is commonly expressed as 1:n or 1...
A scale factor is a ratio of two corresponding measurements or lengths. You can use the factor to increase or decrease the dimensions of a geometric shape, drawing, or model to different sizes. You can find the scale factor in a few easy steps.
If you already know the scale factor, but it is not in the form of 1:n or 1/n, then some additional work is needed to reduce or simplify it. If the ratio is 2:3, for example, then you’ll need to reduce it so that the numerator is 1. Use our ratio calculatorto reduce a ratio. You can also reduce a ratio by dividing both the numerator and the denomin...
Architectural scales often relate a measurement, in feet, of a building to inches on a drawing. You can quickly find the scale factor for an architectural scale by inverting the fraction, then multiplying it by 12(inches/foot). For example, to find the scale factor on a drawing equaling 1′ on a building (1/16″ = 1′), start by inverting the fraction...
Engineering scales are represented in the same units for both the drawing and the actual measurement. For example, if you have a ratio of inches on a drawing to feet in reality, you can quickly find the scale factor for an engineering, or civic, scale by multiplying the feet portion by 12(inches/foot). As an example, to find the scale factor for 1″...
