Using a CAD file, we find the outer dimensions of the building

2. OBJECTIVE

Our main objective consists in determine the spacing between roof elements from performing a scaling of different objects
in several pictures of the building.

Figure 3. First picture used for scaling

We’ll determine our estimation for the dimension of purlins spacing using a rule of three,
4.5006
𝑆𝑆 = × 5.75′ (5′ − 9′′ ) = 3′ − 4′′
7.8012
but a usual dimension it’s 3’-3.5’’.

We’ll determine our estimation for the dimension of rafters spacing using a rule of three,
19.6803
𝑆𝑆 = × 5.75′ (5′ − 9′′ ) = 16′ − 7′′
6.8215
but a usual dimension it’s 16’-5’.
