INTRODUCTION
The Ultra Scale Master
has been specifically
designed to simplify
take-offs for all fields
of construction. Use it
for estimating project
materials and costs, for
measuring, storing and
calculating perimeters,
areas, and volumes from
architectural plans and
other types of scaled
drawings. Also, use the
Ultra Scale Master to
calculate the area of
irregular shapes.
