SCALE DRAWING

SCALE DRAWING
A drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes except they have all been reduced or enlarged by a certain amount (called the scale). The scale is shown as the length in the drawing, then a colon (":"), then the matching length on the real thing.

Example: this drawing has a scale of "1:10", so anything drawn with the size of "1" would have a size of "10" in the real world, so a measurement of 150mm on the drawing would be 1500mm on the real horse.

REDUCING AND ENLARGING SCALE

Scale 1: 1 for full size scale Scale 1: x for reducing scales (x = 10,20 ...... etc.,) Scale x: 1 for enlarging scales.

IF THE DESIRED SCALE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE

SET OF SCALES IT MAY BE CONSTRUCTED AND THEN USED.

PROJECTION

TYPES OF PROJECTION:

Pictorial Projection

Perspective Projection Isometric Projection Oblique Projection

Orthographic Projection

PERSPECTIVE PROJECTION

ISOMETRIC PROJECTION

OBLIQUE PROJECTION

ORTHOGRAPHIC VS ISOMETRIC
Orthographic drawings are typically two dimensional views of an object. For instance, if you were designing a table, you would draw a top view, side view and a bottom view. Should these three views not fully explain the design of the table other views would need to be drawn. An isometric drawing is meant to depict a 3D image of an object in what appears to be a perspective view. However, similar to an orthographic perspective, all of the lines in an isometric drawing can be measured to their true length.
