The Technical Drawing of the theatre was possibly one of the hardest parts of the project at first, but as I got into it, it became a lot easier.
After being given copies of extremely bad plans (I mean EXTREMELY bad, bit's missing, blurred lines ect) I worked out how to find the scale of said drawings from the one measurement we were given. After the scale had been worked out for both the plan, and the view of the proscenium arch, it as a quite simple task of measuring the original drawing, scaling it, and entering the measurements into autocad.
Some parts were a complete pain to try and decipher from the original drawings, but with a bit of time and patience, all was achieved quite successfully!
Once complete, came the task of printing both drawings at full 1:25 scale to make the building of the model box simpler. This was a task in itself. While the drawing took 2 days at most, from start to finish, working out how to print the drawings at 1:25 took the best part of a week, thanks to impossibly difficult software. Eventually however, I worked it out and was rewarded with my lovely plans in full scale.
