Bil Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I have created a Google Sheets spreadsheet to help with converting real world measurements to scale measurements in either imperial or metric units. Feedback or issues are welcome. I hope it is useful! Scale Convert Spreadsheet You can make entries in the red outlined fields, first set your scale (1/48, 1/32, 1/24, 1/18, 1/16, 1/15, or 1/12), then enter whatever your real world measurement is in the appropriate field. The Output field will contain your scale measurement in either imperial or metric units. Bil Trak-Tor, MikeC, Durangokid and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thank you! I've bookmarked this, it's going to be so useful when I do my Anson build again in early March, lots of scratch building to do from known Imperial measurements so this makes life so much easier.

Bil Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 I made some edits to this spreadsheet... you can now enter any scale (its now a direct entry rather than a drop down menu) and I also added a calculator to help convert a plan drawing to any scale.

Eagle Driver Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Great idea! I trust that if this is turned into a web tool, it will have a lot of hits. Maybe even decent revenue from adsense. Good job! Thank you! Bil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Very handy and intuitive. I had a little confusion on the fraction inches to decimal inches section. I was wondering where the 8.04 came from and then realized it was the inch measurement converted into a decimal from a fraction. figured out what I was missing by reading your notes. Very well documented. Bil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
