DEFINITION

OBLIQUE
PROJECTION
It is another method of pictorial projection whereby the
front view is shown as a true face (Parallel with the
vertical plane in 2-D) while the depth inclines at an
angle of either 450 or 300.

It belongs to the category, PARALLEL PROJECTION

whereby all the lines that are parallel on the object are
also parallel on the drawing and all the lines that
appear vertical on the object also appear vertical in the
drawing.

• 2. CABINET OBLIQUE
• Cabinet Oblique projection
transfer HALF the depth
measurement from the
orthographic projection to the
receding axis in the oblique
drawing. This is to reduce the
distortion caused by using the full
depth measurement.
