though i will add don't make the mistake of thinking you can do a topo 1/16" topo model of a site that slopes 50' over 200' and think it will be anywhere near accurate.
And especially DON'T stay up all night to do it for your boss to use in a meeting the next morning
i think there has been a cultural misunderstanding ;-)
in australia chipboard = particleboard!!
i'm a cabinetmaker by trade and have always referred to particleboard as chipboard.
Size of chipboard
What is the size of a standard sheet of chipboard?
where is "Try Google" when you need him?
if he doesn't know, you could talk to "Try Ruler".
thanks so much. i don't have a piece of chipboard. and googling isn't producing what i am looking for.
1/16" and 1/32" are the most "standard" around my school and office

chipboard=particleboard? where I come from chipboard is akin to museum board or butter board, particleboard is in the plywood family.
and in 7 years of schlepping through every utrecht and pearl paint on the east coast I've yet to see chip sized in metric.
24 x 36 x 1/16 or 1/32
Walk in any art supply store in the US and you are 99% likely to find one of those
Well at our local supply store the chipboard came in sizes of 32x40 with varying thicknesses from 1/30" to 1/4".
So now I will be splicing my model together. Geez.

mdf comes in 49" x 97" sheets in the USA. it is so cabinetmakers can cut 4 2' wide pieces from each sheet and account for blade kerf
