Scale, again.

I messed up on the instructional net diagrams. Today I calculated the actual ratio and for those reduced to fit on the A2 document (which I originally put as 1:15) it is in fact 1:6.6, and because I feel that they work better at A3 the ratio is now 1:9. The reason I had 1:15 was because I scaled it down to 15% of the size, however this does not mean it is 15 times smaller! Duh... I don't know how I managed to make a goof like that, considering I'm into technical illustration. Even though this is something of a moot point, considering I'm taking a break from this work following the crit, it is important for me to be accurate in this kind of design. Here are the isometric and regular A3 layouts with the correct ratios:
