How do I add this to the pending approval?

ugh...First you need to resize it. Then you have to make it transparent. What scale is that drawing? You'll probably need to do some work to it once you resize it.

[Buck]

You should draw on a white background, so it will be easier come time to make it transparent.

[RyanHayes1984]

I already have the image transparent, I just need to add it.

[Tony]

You need to resize it to the right scale first. (1 pixel = 1 meter)

[mpls]

you also may need to make a slot for it if it is not already represented in the diagram; go to the drawing request sub forum and find the building upload requests thread.

I hope you all can view this:

Thats the size, the tower is:

Status: Communication Tower (Radio)
Location: Baltimore, MD
Height: 400 ft tall
Width: 58 feet wide

[Tony]

can't see it.

[mpls]

i can see it but its one pixel to one meter, not one pixel to one foot. so you have resize it futher...

[Born Pure Philly]

First of all it is not to scale (1 pixel, 1 meter) a 400 footer would not be 400 pixels high.

What program do you use to draw this.

[Buck]

The correct dimensions would be 122.0 meters tall by 17.7 meters wide.

[RyanHayes1984]

I'm not good at meters, just feet. But yeah, I know the drawing is correct because the government told me that it was 400 feet tall and 58 feet wide. You sure thats right though, Buck?

[RyanHayes1984]

I used MSPaint, sir/ma'am.

[Tony]

Just resize it to what Buck said. It's of course correct.

It's looking pretty good btw.

[Buck]

Yes, very detailed. Nice job. But yes, all diagrams on the website are at a 1 meter = 1 pixel scale. Take the number of feet and divide it by 3.28 and then you got the height/width in meters.

[RyanHayes1984]

But....I don't have the program to do that.


BTW, the one without the black? It's done already, your looking at the finished one.

[mpls]

just make it so when you resize it, it goes to the dimensions buck provided, not the feet.

[Tony]

I cannot be accepted until it is resized to 1 pixel = 1 meter.

[Buck]

Silly Tony- we accept you! ;)

[Tony]

ooops.. silly me, I actually intended to write "It" :P

Thanks for accepting me anyway! :D

[Buck]

Yeah, I got it- but I couldn't pass up posting that. :D

[RyanHayes1984]

Wait a minute, how come the Cn Tower is 525 *I think* meters high and that was accepted?

[Buck]

no, your CN Tower has been properly resized.

[Tony]

Look Ryan, the simple answer is to resize your tower to what Buck specified and submit it instead of arguing and contemplating the subject to death.

[RyanHayes1984]

What I did to that tower is the same way I resized the Cn Tower. The size you are talking is 1 pixel and 1 meter, thats one ".". How are you supposed to see it if it is a dot? I'm not complaining, I am just trying to get some answers.

[Tony]

Ryan, the concept is simple:

1) EVERY REAL METER OF BUILDING is represented with ONE PIXEL on the diagram. Hence 1 pixel = 1 meter scale.

2) 1 meter = 3.28 ft. <---- this is an unalterable fact. THEREFORE, since your tower is 400 ft in real life, that's 400 ft / 3.28 ft =122 meters.

3) since the scale of ALL diagrams on this website are 1 pixel = 1 meter, your diagram must be 122 pixels tall to conform.

I never said your drawing should be 1 pixel and 1 meter, I don't know how you got that out of "1 pixel = 1 meter". If you're going to resize your drawing to 1 pixel of course it's going to be a itty-bitty dot.

[RyanHayes1984]

It's 122 pixels tall..

[caw123]

:nuts:

[Born Pure Philly]

Ryan, your drawing seem to not be top notch. You may need to get a new drawing style.

[RyanHayes1984]

This is all I can afford right now.

[Born Pure Philly]

You don't need to buy anything. Just use ms paint that comes with the computer.

[FRED]

ugh !

[RyanHayes1984]

thats what I've been using...

[Tony]

It's not the software. It's ability.

Also style is not based upon software, it's based upon what goes on in your head.

[Buck]

if you are going to draw at a larger size and then resize it down to the correct size, try drawing at a scale. Like draw at 2 pixels per meter or 3 pixels per meter. That way it will resize better and turn out much better.
