It is always important to tcheck the drawing for any reproduction errors. If the scale on the plot plan is 1/4"=1' is the measurement shown on the architectural scale correct

yes

When scaling a print, a tape measure is preferred over an architectural scale ruler.

true

There are times that an architectural scale is not available and a tape measure must be used to scale a drawing. Because this method is inherently less accurate, measurements are often taken to the 32nd of an inch. On a drawing that is scaled to 1/4"=1', convert the distances obtained by measuring objects on the print with a tape measure. Note: This question requires a calculation that is shown in the example below. Inches in decimal form = the measurement divided by the scale (1/4" in this case). Example: The measurement is 28/32" inch ÷ in per ft = = 3.5 ft = 3' 6"

a 2ft 7in = 21/32in b 3ft 1-1/2in = 25/32in c 2ft 6in = 20/32in d 4ft 7-1/2 = 37/32in

Framing Details: NTS i. Window Details: 3=1 j. Door Details: 3=1 k. Penetration Details: 1-1/2=1 l. Foundation Details: nts m. Horizontal Details: 1-1/2=1 n. Vertical Details: 1-1/2=1 o. Roof Details: 1-1/2=1 p. Window & Door Types: 3/8=1 q. Truss Elevation 3/4=1
