5 Business Superstars!: Scale ratio by sudesh

DEFINE IT:

The scale ratio of a model represents the proportional ratio of a linear dimension of the model to the same feature of the original. Examples include a 3-dimensional scale model of a building or the scale drawings of the elevations or plans of a building.

THINK ON IT

Scale models are important because it allows designers to make an object in a lower cost and it is a replica of the real one.Scale models are used when they are used to create maps and other scale diagrams. When things are too big to draw on paper, scale factors are used to calculate smaller, proportional measurements. Floor plans for house designs are drawn on a smaller scale.Scale drawings are a useful tool for any designer, because they can be used to plan, visualize and adjust landscape plans before breaking ground. Scale drawings assign each object the same scale compared to the actual objects.

The 4 fields in which scale drawing or models are used:

Architect's : architect are used for structures and buildings. They are used to measure interior and exterior dimensions such as rooms, walls, doors, windows, and fire protection system details.

Engineers:An engineer's is an instrument that is similar to a ruler and is used to measure scale on technical drawings.

Mechanical drafters:Mechanical drafters prepare layouts that show the details for a wide variety of machinery and mechanical tools and devices, such as medical equipment.
