Hello I am currently working through lesson 2 and I am trying to figure out how to use the architects scale. When reading the instructions and looking at their illustrations it makes perfect sense how it all works, no questions. However when I used my scale and measured the lines in their examples their numbers did not match up with mine. I am sure i was using the 1/4" scale and not any other side of the ruler. to explain in more depth the first line they say to measure is supposed to be 3'-9". When i measured it starting from the 0 and working my way left to find the 3' mark it only makes it to 2'. I don't really know how to move forward if this doesnt make sense and its so simple i feel like i get how it should work but its not matching up. if you have any suggestions or know what i could be doing wrong please let me know your help would be greatly appreciated!
