Re: Converting scales 1:100
well thats what i thought, but the sizes don't add up when i do that. basically have a floor space of supposedly 56m^2 for the kitchen and utility but using the ratio i thought it only comes out to 30m^2. i am sure you times it by 1000 and then divide by 25 or something. anyone else fancy a gander at this. searched google etc and not getting anything about this.

Re: Converting scales 1:100
The divide by 25(.4) is for converting miilimetres to inches
