Drafting Fans

Tall buildings and beautiful homes did not just pop out of the blue. On the contrary, structures are carefully planned on scale drawings that eventually serve as references during construction. As such, scales are essential tools when planning with accurate scale measurements, drawing straight lines, and transferring measurements at a fixed ratio. However, with all of the different scales out there, purchasing them separately becomes a bit troublesome for engineers and architects. It’s a good thing that Engineer Warehouse offers drafting fans, which feature engineer, architect, and metric scales in one tool. Drawing floor plans or three-dimensional structures can be done with the help of the architect scale, along with its different proportions and units in inches-to-the-foot ratios. On the other hand, engineer scales come in graduations of 10ths, 20ths, 30ths, 40ths, 50ths, and 60ths of an inch. For standard scale measurements, metric scales are commonly used as they are displayed in ratios of millimeters and meters. With these scales combined in one drafting fan, construction professionals can easily draw and measure for their scale drawings and design plans.
