I felt so stupid I was trying to do math in my head the whole time and just didn't understand the scale. You are my engineer savior, thank you :)

Hello! I am an architecture major at my local community college. I just finished both Architectural Freehand Drawing classes this year. In this coming spring semester, I will be taking Design 1 and Graphics 1. I am still new to all this. I have used both the architectural and engineering scales, but I still struggle to know how to read them. Your video has been helpful to give me a better and clear understanding of reading the architectural and engineering scales. Thanks.

As a new Horticulture student who one day wants to go into Landscape Architecture, this video was incredibly helpful in learning to read my new scales.

for that last example using the 1''=20' shouldn't the count be to 3, 3x 20 = 60 since you are counting to 60'. desnt counting to 6'' will give you 120'. just checking. thanks.

First, thank you for this video it was very informative and helpful. Question though- if you are using the 20 side and you want a 60 ft line, would it not be drawn from 0 to the 3, not the 6? I was confused at the 8 min 30 sec mark in the video. If you can please confirm, it would be greatly appreciated!

Eaxctly my thoughts. If he uses the 1:20 and drew a line to 6, wouldn't that make it 120 feet?
