    There are two main projection methods used in technical drawings: first angle and third angle. The first angle method projects the view of a 3D object onto a plane behind it, while the third angle method projects the view onto a plane in front. Different markets use different methods, with the US commonly using third angle and other countries often using first angle. Understanding projection methods is important to avoid producing "mirrored" or useless technical drawings.

    Projection Methods: Need to Know to


    Convert 3D Ideas into 2D Drawings
    Projection Methods describe how the 3D object is projected onto the 2D drawing.

    Different Markets use different methods (e.g., US vs EU).

    Ignoring the need to understand Projection Methods will result in ‘mirrored’, i.e.,
    useless parts.
