If you’re importing a plan and want to align it to a particular scale, you’ll also need to know one real-life measurement on your plan.Ĥ. Aligning an Imported Drawing to A Known Scale From here on out, your scale will reflect in all of the measurements on canvas regardless of zoom level. Half an inch on the plan is now the same as the 24 inch cabinet depth, or a 1:48 inch scale. What this did was match the line length on screen to the actual value of the line in real life. The ratio is now 1:48 inches, and your measurement now reads 24 inches. If you need to, jot it down on your canvas to remember it. Check your plan for an already-noted measurement, or take out your tape measure and find an exact measurement of one wall, door, lot line or deck length. To tie your design on screen to its real-world counterpart, it’s important that you know one real-life measurement of your plan.
You can align any PDF or image to a particular scale on your canvas. When you exit the overlay, you’ll see the new scale ratio, 1:your-new-calculated-value.ġ. Tap the ratio beside Measure in the Precision menu and enter your real-world measurement into the second field. Align the handles to the segment on your plan that corresponds with your real-world measurement.ĥ. Tap the Precision menu and activate Measure.Ĥ. Have an accurate measurement of a real-world dimension on hand.ģ. If don’t know a scale but want to accurately reflect your plan’s real-world components on screen, you can line up a known real-world measurement with a measurement on canvas, and the app will calculate the scale for you.ġ. Read about applying measurements that reflect this scale with Concepts’ rulers down below under Measurements. Tap the corresponding unit field beside the numbers to enter your unit type.
Tap an entry field to bring up a full list of options or type in your units with the keyboard.
Here, you can easily select one of the standard ratios or enter your own scale. In the Workspace tab, find Drawing Scale. If you’re creating a new design from scratch and know the scale you’d like to use for your design, make a new drawing and open the Settings menu (the gear icon in the status bar).
For smaller objects where details matter, a scale of 1/2 : 1 allows you to see the design at twice the size. Component drawings might be 1 : 20 or 1 : 5 gaming models are popularly 1 : 72. This indicates that 1/8 in or 1/4 in on the plan equates to 1 ft in reality. Standard scales for house plans, for example, are 1/8 in or 1/4 in : 1 ft imperial (in the US), or 1 : 100 metric (everywhere else). Scale is a multiplier that defines how big an object is in real life compared to its size on the screen. You can also draw and trace lines to exact dimensions, and apply measurement tags to your designs. A successful plan needs to communicate both your overall vision and how its pieces fit together accurately, so that when it comes time to estimate costs, purchase materials and build your final design, you can do it with confidence.Ĭoncepts makes it simple to set your drawing scale for a project, align a plan with the app for accurate measurements, and apply a known scale to an imported plan or image. That's the effect I want to look for without manually creating it.The first steps in drawing a design plan are 1) setting your project’s scale and 2) applying accurate measurements. But the way the image bends and adheres to the shape of the sphere. Although this has many trees on the ornament. I just looked up an example of the look I want to accomplish.
I am working out some coloring book page ideas in my head and how to take my current library of vectors i have created and turn them in to this themed concept. :) I am just trying to figure out if there is an easy way to accomplish this effect. Can be a kids bouncy ball that has paw patrol image on it. Let's say I wanted to put a unicorn vector i have and place it on an ornament.ĭoesn't have to be an ornament. Where the image is on the sphere, and you see the outer edges "warp" as in the perspective changes as the image is going further back and wrapping around the ornament. Thanks for the Mandala from scratch tips.
