Drawing Scale

person

Does anyone know where I could reference a document that gives "rules of thumb" for what information you show at a given scale? For example, what information is shown at 1:100 vs 1:500?

Thanks.

person, take a look at google maps and notice what you can see at a particular scale, chances are that will answer a lot of questions.

Graphic Standards has some information on this...or check Ching's "Architectural Graphics". i recall a section on drawing scale and the amount of information drawn at different scales. good stuff.

what you show is not really determined by scale so much as the purpose of the drawing.
