ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING

TOP VIEW

SIDE VIEW

FRONT VIEW

Sides of projection Box laid Flat on one plane

HOW TO POSITION THE 3 MAIN VIEWS

1-The top view is directly above the Front view. 2. The side views are horizontally inline with Front view 3. The width of the Top view is equal to the width of side views. 4, When the line or an edge is viewed perpendicularly to a plane of projection, it appears as point

5. A line or edge is parallel to the plane of projection will also appear as line or edge in its exact or true length. 6. A line or an edge Inclined to the Plane of projection will apear shorter or foreshortened. 7. A surface perpendicular to the projection plane will appear as a line or edge equal in length to the nearest edge of the surface, which in this case is either its length or width, depending on its position.

8. A surface parallel to the plane of projection will be shown in its exact or true shape and size. 9. A surface inclined to the plane of projection will also appear as a surface but smaller in size or shape. 10. No line or edge of the object can be projected longer than its true length.

EXAMPLES

For teams

Each group shall be given assigned picture or object to be projected and also assigned principles. After receiving the object, the teams are tasked to make its orthographic projection and draw it down on the given manila paper.

The priciples must be explained in front after they had brainstromed ideas, theyre allowed use another object to make it as a basis for the explanation with regards to the principles assigned Each of the group will be given 15 minutes to do it.
