What my friend means he wants a Visio drawing to scale? My friend brought me a graph paper with a bathroom shot her. It is re-do a bathroom and trying to plan. He said he wants her to "scale". What does this mean exactly? How could I even begin. It contains measures for various things.
scale means that he wants to be able to measure and see exactly how things must adapt.
For example, if you measure one foot on the floor of the paper may need to measure an inch.
This is called a foot wide and 1 inch wide often called at 12:01. Meaning for every 12 inches REAL paper displays a thumb.
You can configure your Visio document to a new level by specifying the scale you want to use for the grid. In the game options on the grid, and then set the grid to a square inch.
When you design the room, you should have the interior and exterior dimensions available to give you the dimensions and start there. fixing the scale will allow your doors and toilets and bath to accommodate the properties yoru scale drawing.
Below is a link to the free online training for Microsoft Visio.
Good luck.
1 "as saying that this document is 3 feet in real life
This means 1cm on the graph can represent 1m on the comprehensive plan. Therefore make sure you get all the correct measurements.
For scale means that he wants things correctly measured. This does not mean you have all the bands of graph paper together until it is as big as his bathroom, though.
For example, most cards are "widespread." If you look at the miles / kilometers to the bottom, the length of this line = so many miles / kilometers.
You can do the same thing with the graph paper. So many places cubic feet = how many of the bathroom.
You'll have to take very precise measurements and use some conversions.
Setting the drawing scale - "representation of an object in which its dimensions (and those of its components) are proportional to the actual dimensions in a predetermined ratio.
Basically your friend asks you to keep your drawing in proportion to its real bathroom.
Well, the scale means that everything is the right size, as it would in real life, but some "Scale" small.
For example, if I had to take a bath that was 2 meters long in real life, and I scale drawing 1 / 100, I had to call 100 times smaller, exactly. (That would be 2cm, but good.: P)
Hope that helped.
