The scale is given in the title block and also in the drawing itself. The section Y-Y is scaled 1:50@A3 and additionally there are dimensions specified which can be scaled off, even if the scale was not given. The section may not have all the dimensions specified but they are easily measured using basic measurement tools scaled off the dimensions given for the ceiling level in the Y-Y section, which also does match 1:50@A3 scaling. There are also dimensions given for the 100mm window mouldings in the elevation drawings which I calibrated from to get the measurements which then match the ground floor plans which do have the dimensions given, so the drawings definately all match up with measurements. I am just still trying to figure out what went wrong so I can attempt to get it rectified. It appears as though the piers are built too wide, especially the middle pier. Re: Roof not built as designed, what do I do? 18Mar 18, 2015 12:21 pm I think the plans says somewhere no scaling, so it's difficult to figure out what went wrong and who's responsible.
