ArchiScale helps students learn scale drawings by calculating scale factors and drawing lengths for buildings, then applying them to real-world 3D map measurements.

This was made to help 7th graders with the math necessary for drawing scale models of the school and seeing where to place solar panels to determine if the school could be powered this way. We used ArcGIS Scene Viewer (3d map) which has measurement tools to determine the dimensions of the roof. It also shows sunlight and shadows!
