What scale to use

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

I am currently a civil 3d user and when we start a new drawing we setup a scale like 1:50. I am working on a remodeling a house and I was wonder can I setup my drawing to 1/4"=1'-0" or do I have to set it up to a 1:1?

Thanks

Civil, structural, architectural, whatever industry:  ALWAYS draw in model space at full scale 1:1

In paper/layout space you can display at whatever scale works for the size of paper you intend to print the finished drawing.

Autocad Architecture comes with loads of Architectural objects and blocks. Just check out what resides on the tool palettes. And Google searches will find many more.
