Scale Drawing

A technical drawing in which all dimensions are represented at a consistent proportional reduction from actual size, allowing the viewer to accurately understand spatial relationships, component sizes, and layout without the drawing being produced at full scale. Scale drawings are used throughout the exhibit design and fabrication process for floor plans, elevations, and detail drawings. Common scales in exhibit work include 1/2 inch equals 1 foot and 1/4 inch equals 1 foot, and all scale drawings must include a clearly noted scale reference.
