 Architecture Tools
• An architect’s main responsibility is to plan out and
design part or all of a building. The tools allow the
architect to carefully design but they also allow
them to change the design and/or change their
mistakes without having to start over.
• There are several different tools that architects use
to measure straight lines, perfect lines, and precise
angles. Some of these tools include triangular
scales, compasses, parallel gliders, and rulers.
 Different Architecture Tools
1. T- Scale
2. Set Square
3. Compass
4. Protractor
5. Pencil
6. Sharpener
7. Eraser
 T-SCALE
• DEFINE
• A T-square is a technical drawing instrument used
for drafting and to draw a horizontal lines on a sheet. It
may also guide a set square to draw vertical or diagonal
lines. Its name comes from its resemblance to the letter T.
• A T-square has two components—the long shaft called the
"blade" and the short shaft called the "stock" or "head".
The T-square usually has a transparent edge made
of plastic which should be free of nicks and cracks in order
to provide smooth, straight lines
 SET SQUARE
DEFINE
A right-angled triangular square
shape used to draw especially a
vertical lines
A set square or triangle is an
object used in engineering and
technical drawing, with the aim of
providing a straight edge at a
right angle or other particular
planar angle to a baseline
There are three types of set
square 30,45 and 60 degree and
they all are used to make the angle
of 90 degree
 COMPASS
• DEFINE
• A protractor is a device used
in drafting and drawing: it's
mainly used for drawing and
measuring angles.
• It has wide application
in architectural and
mechanical drawing,
although now a days its uses
is decreasing with the
availability of modern
drawing software or CAD
 PROTRACTOR
• DEFINE
• A protractor is a device
used in drafting and
drawing: it's mainly used
for drawing and measuring
angles.
• It has wide application
in architectural and
mechanical drawing,
although now a days its
uses is decreasing with the
availability of modern
drawing software or CAD
 PENCIL
• Types of pencils:
1. H Pencil
2. B pencil
3. HB Pencil
4. 2HB Pencil
5. 2B Pencil
 H PENCIL
• H pencils indicate a hard lead 
• The higher the number on the H side of the scale,
the lighter the mark will be
 B PENCIL
• B pencils indicate the blackness (or softness) of the
lead
• The higher the number is on the B side of the scale,
the darker the mark will be
 2B PENCIL
• The 2B pencil has a higher
blackness, and the marks
drawn are relatively black
• The pencil lead of 2B pencil is
relatively soft
•  The main component of 2B
pencil lead is graphite
• 2B pencil is darker in color and
lower in hardness
 HB PENCIL
• HB pencil has a lower blackness,
and the color of the marks drawn
is relatively light
• pencil lead of HB pencil is very
hard, which is not easy to break
• composition of HB pencil is in
addition to half of the graphite,
and some other colorless
substances
• It is suitable for writing, Besides,
HB pencil is also suitable for
marking on hard objects
 ERASER
• An eraser, is an article of stationery that is used for
removing marks from paper or skin.
• An architecture eraser is a special soft eraser used
in draw a several types of drawings including
technical drawings
 SHARPNER
• A pencil sharpener is a tool for sharpening a pencil's
writing point by shaving away its worn surface.
