2.1 Introduction to Orthographic Projections
An Orthographic projection is a 2-D representation of a 3-D object. The 2-D drawing represents
different sides of an object.
This is such a type of drawing in which Parallel Projection is used for the preparation of
the drawing of an object.
These lines are perpendicular to the plane.
In this drawing, it is assumed that the object is at infinity.
The shape of an object is seen in actual size in such drawing.
A plane is an imaginary surface on which pictures are prepared imaginably. Then it is
transferred to the paper.
This plane is faced toward the object whose view is to be prepared.
Generally, three views of an object are prepared. These are Top View, Front View, and Side
View.

2.1.1 Principle Planes of Projection
A plane is an imaginary and invisible clear surface. The drawing constructed on this imaginary
curtain is transferred on the drawing sheet.
For example, if we look at some object through glass or plastic piece, then the picture of the
object will be seen there.
1. Frontal Plane.
2. Profile Plane.
3. Horizontal Plane.

1. Frontal Plane: Such a plane which is placed in front of an object, while projections are drawn,
is called the Frontal plane.
2. Profile Plane: Such a plane which is placed to the right or left of an object. Side view of the
object is drawn on this plane.
3. Horizontal Plane: This is a plane which is placed upward or downward in the horizontal
position of an object. Top view of the object is constructed on this plane.
