Fundamentals of Drawing and Surveying

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

For the success of this project largely depends on the encouragement and guidelines of many
others. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the people who gave full support to
finish the project successfully.

I would like to thank lecture Mr.Marvan who guided throughout this project and also he
taught lot of things about Fundamentals of Drawing and Surveying and also my friends and
my family members who helped and encouraged me to finish the project successfully.

Your sincere student,

Zamri Shan

INTRODUCTION

Through the Fundamental Drawing and Surveying we are gaining a vast knowledge on
different types of Drawing methods using in CAD software. In addition to our day today
lecture series we are assigned to do certain practical session in relation to the module.

This assignment is for Fundamental Drawing and Surveying subject for the 1st semester in
BTEC HND in Quantity Surveying. This subject is most important for Quantity surveys.
This is an individual assignment and I have completed this assignment by gathering
information from the lecture notes, referring books and browsing internet. I hope this
assignment will provide the necessary information in Fundamental Drawing and Surveying
and for those who read this assignment gain some knowledge about this subject.

1.2 Orthographic projection

Graphical method used in modern engineering drawing. In order to interpret and
communicate with engineering drawing a designer must have a sound understanding of its
use and a clear vision how the various projections are created.

There are two types of orthographic projection 1st angle and 3rd angle projection both are very
important in drawing.

1. First angle
2. Second angle

First angle

Whether you view objects from the left or right. The order in which the drawing views are
arranged puts the image that you see after the object, object first then the image is always true
for First Angle projection.

Put another way:

•Viewing from the left: The drawn image on the right is your view of the drawn object on the
left.
•Viewing from the right: The drawn image on the left is your view of the drawn object on the
right
This can get confusing, particularly when also considering other drawings created using other
projections. You may develop your own way of recognizing First Angle projection. (Basic
drawing, 2014)

Third Angle

Whether you view the objects from the left or the right, the order in which the drawing views
are arranged puts the image that you see before the object, image first then the object. This is
always true for
Third Angle projection
Put another way:
•Viewing from the left: The drawn image on the left is your view of the drawn object on the
right.
•Viewing from the right: The drawn image on the right is your view of the drawn object on
the left. (Basic drawing, 2014)

These two projections methods are very important in the Construction

Conclusion
After viewing this assignment you will get knowledge about what is Fundamental of Drawing
and Surveying. I have clearly drawn a plane with sections, elevations with dimensions

In this assignment I have wrote a report about first angle projection and 3rd angle projection.
