Details

A model is a three-dimensional model to scale. Models are usually made to get a better impression of a building than one can get from a drawing. Scale models were also used to check the design of a factory. Today the latter has been replaced by 3D computer graphics and Computer Aided Design (CAD). Models of urban areas are also being made to show how it once was or how it will become. Common scales: 1: 100: This scale is often used to indicate more detail. Such as window frames, inside of a building or complex structures. 1: 200: This scale is also widely used to indicate details, if the building is too large to make in 1: 100 and still details are desired, one chooses to take 1: 200. In addition, a small error can have major consequences in this scale, 2 mm error in the model is actually 0.4 meters. 1: 500: With this scale it is very difficult to show details. The details usually only remain with the facades, where the recesses or the construction can then be seen. It is still possible to place people and cars, the people are then about 3.5 mm high (x 500 is 1.75 m). In this scale, this is often worked with masses, in order to indicate in an abstract way what form the building has. 1: 1000: If you want to have an overview of a certain area and no details are desired, then this is a correct scale. Large parts of a city can quickly be made on a small base plate. If the base plate is 800 by 800 mm, then the actual dimensions are 800 by 800 meters, which is 64 hectares anyway. 1: 2500: This scale is only used for large urban plans or landscaping. These models are therefore often very abstract with bright colors and separate use of materials.
