Could you please explain what each side of an architectural scale actually is, like what the numbers at the end stand for like 16 = INCHES for example. I tried looking everywhere on the internet for that but I couldn’t find any answers.

[@topsaw]

It's the scale for that side, 1/4 is 1/4 inch to the foot

[@dekonfrost7]

Yea every 1/4 1/8 1/16 or 1/2 is always to the foot. And engineers ruler works similarly

[@SaerTurner-wn2qh]

but do you know how to scale using your tape measure and yes you can do it

[@topsaw]

Yes,
