Bob and Sparky talk about how to read an architect's scale. Architect's scales are used to make and read drawings made to a specific scale. For example: 1/4 inch equals 1 foot.
Sir, you are the BEST teacher on all of these concepts. I show your videos to my middle school PLTW students. Your work is superior to any curriculum I have seen. You are a gentleman and a scholar like Ben Franklin who gave away his ideas and intelligence without worry of income as he was bettering society. Thank you. I have used your videos for years. You never fail me!
Terrible Instructor took over 30 minutes with a fancy power point to explain this to the class and we were like huh.... 5 mins of this video was all the info i needed. Thank you so much
I am an Aerospace Engineer recent graduate that I just started working at a consulting engineering firm designing HVAC system and I am being exposed to Architect drawings and did not know much about Architecture scales but after watching this video everything is crystal clear. Thank you very much.
my grandpa gave me his old drafting set, I've never used one before...this really helped me understand what I'm doing now, thank you very much. This makes it MUCH easier than using my tape measure to draw things up
I love the sense of humor. My favorite part is Sparky's "Today" thought bubble. That gave me a prolonged belly laugh which provided the endorphins I needed once I discovered that my "two question" homework assignment for HVAC actually required taking over 50 measurements. Of course it was due that day! Practice makes perfect. Architect's rulers are cool! Thank you, Bob. Ap-paws!
never took a architect class nor needed this type of ruler until recently. I have learned not only to read this but passed the test on this video. VERY well done explaining this. I can now show a fellow co-worker on how to read it as well
these triangular rulers came with some blades I got for scrapbooking (can you tell, I am definitely not an architect) so I was thoroughly confused. I learned so much from this video, this is just about the coolest thing on my desk now. Thank you for this info!
Is it because of too many lines? It is a challenge, but they are not so many to count of! Better technique of saving time and to get faster to the point: find the middle/center and count the big lines between! The 3/4 scale ruler has 24 (4 x 6) sections having a total value of 12". So, then 1/2 values 6", 1/4 line - 3". As soon as each 1/4 is divided in 6 sections - each section/line has a value of 1/2" (3" /6 = 1/2")!
Literally so clear and easy to learn i just had drafting today for the first time and i was so confused at how to read the scale but this clears it up. Thank you
Mannn, I love this video... i went from thinking it was impossible to dancing from the excitement of getting the answers correct lol.. thanks to the team and or individual that took the time to make this video.. i know it took you longer than 7 mins to make it but the video only took 7 mins to make a difference!! BIG THANKS!!!! and posted 7 years ago ironically lol
I watched a couple videos and this is the only one I understood lol. Tomorrow is my midterm for my blueprint reading class and i feel like I’m ready. Thanks!
Hey bro.... your video was just awesome. In such way you describe all these measurements, that was just fantastic. By the help of this video i solve some of my drawing problems. Thank you.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I need to plan for wildlife boxes and platforms so this was perfect and well explained. A suggestion, add the way to determine what scale to use for making the plan, for example, our platforms are 8 feet by 8 feet or out turkey boxes have an 18" by 18 inch base so waht scale would work best on drafting paper 11 x 17
Perfect video. I *mostly-ish* knew how to use my scale, but this cleared up some confusion for me! Now I'm going to see if you've got one for an engineering scale...
I love this video! I would suggest you make one for reading a architect's metric scale ruler... I know it is fairly easy, I'd love to add it to my online resource file!
The same technique is for all kind of measuring systems! The only you need: to know terms and values of the system you want to use, as: 1cm =10mm, 1m = 100cm = 1000mm, 1km =1000m,.....A master mast have few scales from different systems to be able to work with!
And I thought at the beginning of the video that this was another stupid video, this video is amazing, great information in a short video, thank you very much Sir
3” = 1’? Take a close look at it...see how it looks like a miniature ruler on one end? It probably has 12 inches on it just like a regular ruler but smaller.
The most challenging one, as it looks, because of many lines! Take you time and define a value of a single section from the inch ruler! Let's do the math and a fast technique: No need to count all the lines from the inch ruler to get the value! Lets cut to the 3 and to 1 - we count 3 big sections with 2 longer lines in between (0 and 3). Counting them to 1 (inch ruler value), we get 8 sections, where center has 1/2" value, 2 long lines = 1/4" value, and every short line = 1/8" value! Summary: On 3 scale ruler: the inches long lines between a whole number = 1/2" (don't confuse with the longest lines!), smaller = 1/4", and each smallest = 1/8", corresponding to the # of divider (if 6 sections, 1 = 1/6, if 8 sections - 1/8, if 12 - 1/12, if 16 - 1/16....1/32! Pay attention what legend says about the scale: is not a rule/law: 3 scale ruler value means 1" in a life dimension! Ruler has its value, print scale - its own! When the print scale says: 1" = 20', you must do the last operation - to transfer the founded value from the scale ruler to the value based on print scale! Ex: if 4' - 2" is the scale ruler value, what is the life dimension based on 1" = 20'?

This dude taught me more in seven minutes than a four-month course on drafting did.
lol. same
kkl,lll,, . .. . ikkkknLe0 ztzuzuk
THIS.
Yes, he does! Using a proper technique of teaching can do better than other cannot do even having longer time!
Agreed
I'm in a drafting class and this video has been a lifesaver. I want to thank you for putting time into making this
You are welcome!

As an architecture major who was told to design a house but was never told any of this, THANK YOU😅 this is the best video on scale & a life saver
Terrible Instructor took over 30 minutes with a fancy power point to explain this to the class and we were like huh.... 5 mins of this video was all the info i needed. Thank you so much
I am an Aerospace Engineer recent graduate that I just started working at a consulting engineering firm designing HVAC system and I am being exposed to Architect drawings and did not know much about Architecture scales but after watching this video everything is crystal clear. Thank you very much.
i watched like 5 different videos on architects scale and this was the best one
I do have the same opinion!
my grandpa gave me his old drafting set, I've never used one before...this really helped me understand what I'm doing now, thank you very much. This makes it MUCH easier than using my tape measure to draw things up
Taking an architecture class and this was SO helpful as everything in this field is new to me. Thank you!!!
Great!
@@WeldNotes thank you so much my teacher is so strict and fast I couldn't get it together but thanks to you I get it 😁

This guy literally saved me from having my 11th mental break on a single day. Literally learned so much in a single 7 min video . Thank you T.T

Best teaching video on TH-cam...
He clearly understands and that's why he can make it so simple
Excellent! You, sir, CAN teach an old dog new tricks 😁
The 3/4 =1’ part went completely over my head I’ll just have to re watch it but everything else was great

Same here
This was a great video! It explained everything perfectly and concisely and the visuals helped me understand it better.
I had to use this for my drafting class.... and man..... I feel like a caveman trying to use this
Straight to the point, couldn't made it anymore clearer. Thanks man really appreciate it.
I had a quiz on this today and realized I need to look over my architect scale. Found this video and learnt everything I needed to
I'm in mechanical engineering with a drafting midterm coming up this video was very helpful. Thank you!
Literally so clear and easy to learn i just had drafting today for the first time and i was so confused at how to read the scale but this clears it up. Thank you
Thank you for this resource. I have taught this skill using other resources and this has been the most helpful one.
This clip just made everything insanely easy. He should get more views & likes!
Bob and Sparky, you are the best! I got if once and forever from the very first example :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Excellent tutorial! Exactly what I needed. Breakdown of the concepts was great! Thank you!
life saver............ thanks a lot for puting this video up
love the animation, especially the dog. Great job!
This is incredible!! Thank you, I now understand scales.
Great video thanks for taking the time to create this master piece.
I took a few architect classes about 20 years ago. Since then I had forgotten how to use an architects scale. Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you for a great detailed explanation on measurements. Now for my test.
Thanks so much for this video! I watched many others, but these examples and explainations helped me truly get it.
Mannn, I love this video... i went from thinking it was impossible to dancing from the excitement of getting the answers correct lol.. thanks to the team and or individual that took the time to make this video.. i know it took you longer than 7 mins to make it but the video only took 7 mins to make a difference!!

Great! Good luck on the midterm! 🍀
FANTASTIC video - Thanks
Great video for my high school students taking Housing and Home Design!!
The same technique!
liking this video a thousand times because it was so helpful.... thank you
This video was amazing. Loved it. Learned soo much through it
Hey bro.... your video was just awesome. In such way you describe all these measurements, that was just fantastic. By the help of this video i solve some of my drawing problems. Thank you.
Good video, Bon! Thanks. Very clear & helpful.
I'm so happy this video exists. thank you!!!

Clear and concise. Thank you for making this video!
Absolutely correct! Concise and strait to the point with no playing around! Simplicity - is a form of geniality!
Make it sooo easy to understand! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for making this!
Perfect video. I *mostly-ish* knew how to use my scale, but this cleared up some confusion for me! Now I'm going to see if you've got one for an engineering scale...
Glad it helped! Unfortunately we don't have one for engineering scales yet, but they aren't as hard as Architects scales -- they don't mix units.
Thank you very much sir. U cleared my doubts well..
Really cool and well done.
Good Morning I had troubles now it is over thank you sir best learning style best teacher thanks a lot
Had to dave this video ..best video ever..simplicity at its finest
Thanks Bob!
Thanks! You made it easier for this metric system architect
This video is amazing!!!
It's very clear and easy to understand!! Thank you so much
Thank you a lot, it makes so much sense now
Great preparation for my upcoming course 😁 thanks
honestly, I did not understand the scale for a long time and then I watch this everything clears up like a sunny day lol
Great Job!
I loved it, thank you !
Great video. Thank you!

this is so helpful, thank you very much:)
Good I found the video I needed. He deserves a bigger paycheck
Love you Bob
thank you so much for this video! it helped me out for my exam!
Thank you for your effort, I was trying to understand US units, we use metric scales ^_^.
Thank you, I understand this better now.
I’m forever grateful
Would love a repeat of this video but in SI units
Great video. Much appreciated. Now do a video over how to use an Engineer scale!
thanks for this video. it helps a lot.
Thank you so much!
Great video
Thank you so much 😊 I learned it !
Thanks Jiminy Cricket
so much for making this video.
Thank you so so much I needed this ughhhhhh
Thanks Bob
Thanks Bob, you made this super easy , your animation was cute 😆
This video has taken my stress and worries in learning how to use an architect scale
Thank you for posting this video, it's really helpful and simple to understand. Would love to see more of this. Please make more. :)
Great Video!!
Thanks this video helped me a lot 👌
It was really helpful video. Thanks
thank you. that made my day. the other videos i watched were far to complicated. Do you have a metric scale video?
Sorry no metric on that one. A good idea, though.
Thank you!
And I thought at the beginning of the video that this was another stupid video, this video is amazing, great information in a short video, thank you very much Sir
you are hero, helped me with quiz today, thanks.
Went over every scale except 3” 😩 the one I needed

+Alex Z Just search for it on Google.
Thank You, I'm Helped me out, GOD BLESS who post this video :-)
Thank you so much! You explained it better than my Professor :)
Thank you so much *tears of joy*
waow! this was amazingly helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh you saved me for that TEST tomorrow! :D GRACIAS!!!!!!!
This video is god tier ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️
Great!
Thank you! Great video.How can I get more problems for practice?
