To reproduce a scale drawing from a previous scale of 1 box = 5 feet to a new scale of 1 box = 10 feet, you will essentially need to adjust the dimensions of the original drawing accordingly.
Here's how to do it step by step:
-
Determine Original Dimensions: First, identify the dimensions from the original drawing. If each box represents 5 feet, you need to measure the distances represented in boxes.
-
Convert to Feet: Multiply the number of boxes by 5 to convert the dimensions into feet. For example, if a section of the yard is 3 boxes long, that would be 3 boxes x 5 feet/box = 15 feet.
-
Apply the New Scale: With the new scale of 1 box = 10 feet, you will now convert the total feet into boxes for the new scale. Using the previous example of 15 feet:
- Divide the total feet by the new scale (10 feet per box):
- 15 feet ÷ 10 feet/box = 1.5 boxes.
-
Create the New Drawing: Use the number of boxes calculated to create your new scale drawing. If 1.5 boxes was calculated for a section, draw that section as 1.5 boxes long on your new drawing.
-
Repeat for All Dimensions: Repeat this process for all sections of the yard until the entire drawing has been converted to the new scale.
Example
If the original drawing had the following dimensions in boxes:
- Length: 4 boxes
- Width: 2 boxes
Original dimensions in feet:
- Length: 4 boxes × 5 feet/box = 20 feet
- Width: 2 boxes × 5 feet/box = 10 feet
New dimensions in boxes using 1 box = 10 feet:
- Length: 20 feet ÷ 10 feet/box = 2 boxes
- Width: 10 feet ÷ 10 feet/box = 1 box
Your new scale drawing would show:
- Length: 2 boxes
- Width: 1 box
This means you would redraw the front yard with those dimensions at your new scale of 1 box = 10 feet.
For a visual representation, you would sketch accordingly. If you have a specific layout or features to include, apply the same logic to each part of the yard to ensure all aspects are accurately represented.
