Objectives
• Construct a missing view of an object
using 2 provided views.
• Produce an isometric sketch from a set of
orthographic projections

Missing Views

• Missing views are a challenge for 3D

visualization skills.
• The general procedure for constructing the
missing view involves locating identical
vertices in the provided views and
transferring their location onto the missing
view.

Missing Views – Draw the missing top view

• Step 1: Project
vertices.
• Step 2: Measure
distances from 8
Right Side View. 4
• Step 3: Locate
and connect
8
corresponding
vertices.
• Step 4: Add
hidden and
center lines. 4

Missing Views

• To construct a pictorial drawing from

orthographic projections it is convenient to
use “reverse” edge or point tracking.
– Step 1: Locate an anchor vertex or edge
– Step 2: Successively locate adjacent vertices
or edges
– Step 3: Add internal features

Missing Views – Sketch the missing isometric

• Step 1: Choose an anchor
surface.
• Step 2: Find and sketch in
adjacent surfaces
