Nope, still blonde. Major revision needed before you build a Wendy house instead of a real one.
10 mm represent 1,000 mm if you want a scale of 1/100
Check your Local Authority's website. My internal plans had to be 1:50 with a scale of at least 5m and showing North. The scale "1:50" and the size of paper had to be shown on the plans. My Council charges extra for paper submissions rather than electronic, so I used PDF Creator as a virtual printer to create the PDF documents for submission.
What are you muppets going on about? It doesn't matter what the units are only the relationship between the drawn line and what it represents in reality.

You are of course right if the OP simply says :"...is 1:100 or 1:50 right ? ". However if they then say :
and then
then they may have got the scale right, but don't have the mathematical ability to convert that into the correct length of line on a piece of paper even if at the bottom it says 1:100.

to convert that into the correct length of line on a piece of paper even if at the bottom it says 1:100.I am drawing a plan 1/50
so a line of 2cm is equal to 1m in real terms (?)
(I think the reason I am getting confused is my husband has measured everything in meters so thats why I used the example of 1000mm)
"mathematical ability"

I'm with you Fred, can't see what these fellas are getting their knickers in a twist about
.kazzab - your unit of measurement isn't important - as long as it's annotated and converted correctly*. If it's to scale.....it's to scale, I can't see a problem with your math, listen to Fred
.*Notwithstanding individual LABC / LPA guideline requirements.
fellas..............knickers.......eeewwwwww
.....back to my drawing
