ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING

Technical Drafting
How many sides does a dice have?
How many views?
 Cubes (like these dice) have 6 sides

Since each side of the dice

will have its own view…
then there must be SIX
possible orthographic views!
A Question…

Each of the blocks

to the right have
the same overall
dimensions and
colors.
What else to they
have in common?
The answer…

They all have

identical top
views!
OBJECTIVES
• To differentiate the orthographic views;
• To convert a pictorial drawing into multiview
drawings;
• To use the alphabet of lines in making orthographic
drawings.

Values Integration: Punctuality and Discernment

Multiview Drawings
A multiview drawing is one that shows two or more two-dimensional views of a three-
dimensional object.

Multiview drawings provide the shape description of an object. When combined with
dimensions, multiview drawings serve as the main form of communication between
designers and manufacturers.
Another name for orthographic projection is multiview
drawing

Involves visualization and implementation

– Ability to see clearly in the mind’s eye an object
– Process of drawing the object
Angles of Projection

 First-angle projection
 Used by many European countries
 Object is projected onto planes from the first
angle or quadrant
 Front view projected to vertical plane
 Top view projected to horizontal plane
 Left-side view projected to profile plane
  Third-angle projection
 Standard for the United States

 Third quadrant is used for projection

TOP VIEW
 Front view projected to
vertical plane
 Top view projected to
horizontal plane
 Right-side view projected to
profile plane
