transfering sketch to full size?


Recommended Posts

I have a sketch of my body shape I want, but it's of course, small. Anyone have a good way to transfer a small design to a full scale size. I'm thinking of maybe tryin to rig a home brew overhead projector and just taping a piece of poster size paper to the wall and tracing. Just looking for ideas here.

Scan it into a raster image and digitize it into a CAD package. Then you can scale it to any size you want and print it accurately.

I use WinTopo and TurboCAD which both have free versions available for download at Wintopo and TurboCad

depending on how small the sketch is, u may not be happy with what it looks like once it's "full size", i would suggest using some base shapes, either the ones u like the most or, the one it most resembles, then work from there in full size pictures on a big desk to get what u want. but the projector sounds like the easiest idea if u have one handy.
