can o worms

wat?

butterflies and cookie jars

why's everyone bullying me?

lol sweetie...

( If I understood your cryptic question correctly )

well the grids in any software interface are really a poor basis to use as default in ur own design.
try being more imaginative.

i mean grids as in grids on a mathematical graphpaper.


thanks anyway for responding man.

soulikeit.sweetie

i understood ur question finally.

I'll explain to your in detail since ur a novice.
AND PLS READ CAREFULLY.

See pal, those grids are calibrated to a certain measurement. mostly metric with a unit of centimetre or smallest unit 1mm x 1mm square.

so if you are using that to represent say a square room , then u may use that if you are doing by metric scale.

E.G your design is a perfectly square space of 1 M x 1 M and your using a scale of 1 cms : 100 cms

then on a centimeter graph..your space will be represented by a square of one unit x one unit.
( since ur scale was 1 cm : 100 cms..hence 1 cm denotes 1M)
( 100 cms make 1 M )

so u may use a graph for preliminary understanding of the magnitude of scale of spaces.

many beginners in arch do that.

SO
..in such a way

u may employ that method to define the scale of forms and spaces..after you adapt to scale and visualisation , u can gradually get rid of the graph paper .


I hope ? you understood.

two graphic design threads in one day from the same person? slow down a little. the sun will rise tomorrow.

I guess they weren't created on the same day. But they're both on the front page on the same day. (yes, I'm safe!)

I just scrolled down a little more. Make that 3 graphic design topics started by the same person on the front page. Yay!
