Renaissance architects used the drafting table, also known as the drawing board, as a tool to create precise and detailed architectural drawings. They would use rulers, compasses, and other drawing instruments to create accurate scale drawings of their designs. The drafting table provided a flat and stable surface for the architects to work on, as well as the ability to adjust the angle and height of the drawing surface for optimal viewing and accuracy. Renaissance architects valued the use of precise and detailed drawings in their design process, and the drafting table was an essential tool for achieving this.
