Thanks Stefan,
Yeah looks like you're absolutely right about the projection, dang! :-/
I should have known not to try and have a good idea
Wonder if there's any other way to get the internal segment panel dimensions accurately....

Hi All, I've tried looking everywhere for good reference pictures And measurements of the vac formed wall panels that were made for the corridors of Hadleys Hope. Can anyone on here please help? Thank you. |

Weird, When I blew the top view photo up full scale by way of projector to 49.25 " across, I would have thought that it would have then subsequently measured 34.25 " down (per the measurements given)- but it ended up being nearly 1.5 inches more?!?! Am I missing something? Was an accurate 3D file ever created by anyone on here? |

I just did a quick check of the proportions in Corel Draw and it fits quite well. Keep in mind that a) the Photo already has some amount of perspective distortion b) projectors aren't made for the kind of scaling you are doing (unless well calibrated like the ones for flight simulators). Just output a circle and measure the diameter - I would be surprised if it's the same in horizontal and vertical direction. Cheers, Stefan PS: Nice pictures - thanks a lot, Willie! |

Actually, the shape is not too complex to do. If you don't have a drawing program, you can simply print the picture. Then you measure the horizonal line that says 49.25" in your printout. Let's say it's 4.32". So your scaling factor for all horizontal lines is 49.25"/4.32" = 11.40. So multiply each horizontal distance you measure in your printout by 11.40 and you should have the real horizontal dimension. For the vertical dimensions you will be doing the same procedure, just with the vertical lines. You might end up with a slightly differend factor for the vertical dimensions. Cheers, Stefan |

Cheers, Stefan So the end results/calculations will be what the correct dimensions are in 1:1 scale? |
