Anyone know how to make scale drawings? Like say you need a scale drawing of a box that was 4 x 4 x 5 "units", (could be any unit, inch,foot,etc), but need to make it at an angle so you could view the entire box three dimensionally?

use the x,y,z coordinate system and plot everything on the graphh paper is all li hae to say.

But i'd need the right math to do the measurements so it'd be to scale, that's what I'm saying

hmmm....try this and see if it works
draw a line horizontally across the paper. make a mid point. and then plot out your units along it.
now from the mid point youll need to draw two lines at an angle up each way. now the degree of these angles is to your descretion. two common ways to do it is make each 45 degrees, or one 30 and the other 60. (im rethinking this...if you are trying to do an accurate drawing 45 and 45 is probably the way to go)
ok, now lets say the box is 5 tall, and 4 wide. on your horizontal like mark out 4 units in each direction and draw a line upwards. then draw the lines out from the mid point at your angles, and connect them to the vertical lines. then draw 5 units up from these 3 points (mid point, and the two intersection points). then take the same angles from the top of these points as the angles you drew before, and draw the top of the box.
i thinks thats how we did it...although its been a few years since i was in archiceture...(as i no longer know how to spell it...)

heres what im talking about (i only made it 3 units wide on the right....but you get the point). every angle is 45 degrees.

Yep I think he is right.. You want a disapearing point of what that is called... but the scale goes by measurements.. so like 1 foot real length is 1 cm on your drawing.
