Title: Translation of scales
Post by: john_k on October 19, 2015, 02:35:45 pm

Good day,
I wanted to post this to "Idiots start here", but the nearest I got was beginners. At my age a no-no. I seem to be confusing myself. I have a plan at 1:87 (HO). I want to build at 1:100. Do I print the plans at 87% ? It all seems too obvious. Please help !!
cheers John K (too old it seems)

Yes. going smaller divide the smaller scale by the bigger. In this case .87 or 87%
