StormCAD Newbie
(OP)
Hello All,
I am a StormCAD Newbie and am working on a final project for class. I have taken an aerial photo of a residential area I plan to analyze with this program. My question: how can I scale my photo so that when I start adding my conduits, etc., they are roughly the correct length?
Thanks so much,
Daisy

RE: StormCAD Newbie
Use Google Earth and draw square with known dimension. This square will help to remeasure dimension after printing/scanning/photocopying like old days drawing scales.

As it was said above, you need to find a couple known distance, which you'' need to field verify unless you have a survey. Get some parking stalls, inlet to inlet, building dimensions, etc ... something you can pick up in the aerial, then scale and rotate in CAD

100% Lost
Also, I only have academic license so I have to cut the project into parts....
