[QUOTE="springcrocus, post: 24235, member: 935"] A4 paper is 29.8 cm x 21.2 cm. Allowing 1.5 cm for margins leaves you a workable area of 26.8 cm x 18.2 cm. If you worked to a scale of 30:1 your drawing would be 20.3 cm x 13.8 cm If you worked to a scale of 25:1 your drawing would be 24.3 cm x 16.5 cm Architects usually work to 20:1, 50:1, 100:1 etc but 50:1 would be a bit small in my opinion.
