Thanks for the answers, really appreciate it. No, I have no plans to build an offshore oil rig... it's a writing project, so I don't need detailed info. Just having trouble finding out what sort of maths are used to read offshore oil rig blueprints. I think algebra & def geometry are used, but wasn't sure if it goes any deeper than that.  You're going to have to have the scale of the drawing, is it going to be 1/4" = 12" or ? Yes there will be some angles that have to be read as well. Keep in mind that it's the construction crew reading what you call blueprints; there's not going to be any trig or calculus ON the drawings. The higher math calculations have been done by others. THAT is what I'm getting at, thank you!So the guys reading the plans & implementing them don't have to know any higher math?
