MULTIVIEW

DRAWINGS
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS/MULTIVIEW
DRAWINGS
 GIVES CLEARER MORE ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF OBJECT
THAN A PICTURE OR WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
 VIEWS OF THE OBJECT AS IT IS SEEN FROM DIFFERENT
POSITIONS
 VIEWS ARE ARRANGED IN A STANDARD ORDER
SIX VIEWS OF AN OBJECT
 MOST OBJECTS HAVE SIX SIDES/VIEWS:
 TOP
 BOTTOM
 FRONT
 REAR
 RIGHT-SIDE
 LEFT-SIDE
 TYPICALLY ONLY 2-3 VIEWS ARE
NEEDED TO COMPLETELY SHOW THE
SHAPE AND SIZE OF AN OBJECT
NORMAL VIEWS
 THREE MOST COMMON
VIEWS:
 FRONT: SHOWS WIDTH AND
HEIGHT
 TOP: SHOWS WIDTH AND DEPTH
 RIGHT-SIDE: SHOWS DEPTH AND
HEIGHT
 TYPICALLY ONLY NEED 3
VIEWS BECAUSE SOME VIEWS
GIVE SAME INFORMATION
FOUND ON OTHER VIEWS
ORTHOGRAHIC PROJECTION
 PROCESS OF PROJECTING 2 OR MORE VIEWS OF AN OBJECT
ONTO IMAGINARY PLANES BY DRAWING LINES
PERPENDICULAR FROM THE OBJECT TO THE PLANES
 VIEWS THAT MAKE UP MULTIVIEW DRAWINGS ARE CREATED
THROUGH ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
 MADE WITH THREE PLANES:
 VERTICAL/FRONTAL
 HORIZONTAL
 PROFILE
 PICTORIAL DRAWING IS THE 3D SHAPE

USED WHEN CREATING TECHNICAL

DRAWINGS
ANGLES OF PROJECTION
 VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL PLANES DIVIDE THE SPACE
INTO 4 QUADRANTS
 FIRST ANGLE PROJECTION: USED IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
 THIRD ANGLE PROJECTION: USED IN THE U.S. AND CANADA
 FRONT VIEW IS PROJECTED ONTO THE VERTICAL PLANE
 TOP VIEW IS PROJECTED ONTO THE HORIZONTAL PLANE
 RIGHT-SIDE VIEW IS PROJECTED ONTO THE PROFILE PLANE

ONT
FR
 DECIDING WHICH VIEWS TO USE
 FRONT VIEW IS TYPICALLY THE ONE THAT SHOWS THE MOST
CHARACTERISTICS OR IS THE LONGEST VIEW– ONLY CHOSEN
VIEW
 TOP AND RIGHT-SIDE VIEWS ARE DRAWN BASED ON THE NORMAL
POSITION TO THE FRONT VIEW
NUMBER OF VIEWS TO DRAW
 WHEN AN OBJECT HAS A UNIFORM THICKNESS ONLY ONE
VIEW IS NEEDED
 AN OBJECT CAN BE SHOWN IN TWO VIEWS WHEN THE THIRD
VIEW WOULD ADD NOTHING TO THE DESCRIPTION

 WHICH VIEWS ARE

NEEDED FOR A?
 FRONT AND SIDE
 WHICH VIEWS ARE
NEEDED FOR B?
 FRONT AND SIDE
 WHICH VIEWS ARE
NEEDED FOR C?
 FRONT AND TOP
 WHICH VIEWS ARE
NEEDED FOR E?
 FRONT AND ??
CURVED SURFACES
 CYLINDERS AND CONES DO NOT SHOW CURVES IN ALL
VIEWS
 THEY APPEAR AS CIRCLES IN ONE VIEW AND STRAIGHT
LINES IN ANOTHER
 CYLINDER APPEARS AS A CIRCLE IN ONE VIEW AND A
RECTANGLE IN ANOTHER
 CONE APPEARS AS A CIRCLE IN ONE VIEW AND A TRIANGLE IN
ANOTHER
 ANY OBJECT WITH A SPHERE WILL HAVE CIRCLES IN ALL
VIEWS
 HIDDEN LINES
 NARROW, SHORT DASHED LINES DRAWN WITH 0.5MM F PENCIL
 1/8 DASH, 1/32 GAP

 SHOWS THE OUTLINE OF A FEATURE THAT CAN NOT BE SEEN IN A

PARTICULAR VIEW

 WHAT DO YOU NOTICE ABOUT

THE CENTER LINES IN THE
FRONT AND TOP VIEWS THAT
IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE
TYPICALLY DO WITH
DRAWINGS?
DIMENSIONING
 DIMENSIONING COMMUNICATES SHAPE AND SIZE IN A
CLEAR AND ACCURATE FASHION
 EACH FEATURE OF AN OBJECT IS ONLY DIMENSIONED ONCE
 SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE MOST DESCRIPTIVE VIEW OF
THE FEATURE BEING DIMENSIONED
 (DO NOT DIMENSION HIDDEN LINES)
 MULTIVIEW PRACTICE – GETTING
STARTED

1) DETERMINE FRONT

3) PROJECT WIDTH AND TOP ER
LINES TO TOP VIEW IT
4) DETERMINE DEPTH M
FOR TOP VIEW
5) PROJECT HEIGHT
AND LINES TO RIGHT
SIDE VIEW
6) DRAW MITER LINE
7) PROJECT DEPTH TO RIGHT

QUIZ

CREATE A MULTIVIEW DRAWING OF THE SHAPE

BELOW:
LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING: 1, 2, 3
 AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR NOTES
PAGE, ON THE BACK, CIRCLE
WHETHER YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE A 1,
2 OR 3
 1: I NEED HELP OR I AM STILL
STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND
 2: I GET IT/MOSTLY UNDERSTAND
 3: I GET IT, LETS MOVE ON TO
SOMETHING MORE CHALLENGING
MULTIVIEW GROUP ACTIVITY
 THERE WILL BE THREE DIFFERENT GROUPS:
 STUDENTS WHO NEED ASSISTANCE (1)
 STUDENTS WHO UNDERSTAND (2)
 STUDENTS WHO ARE READY TO MOVE ON TO HARDER ASSIGNMENTS (3)
 EACH GROUP WILL BE GIVEN A BOX FULL OF 3D SHAPES
 GROUPS 2 AND 3: WILL BEGIN CREATING MULTIVIEW DRAWINGS BASED
ON THOSE SHAPES IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING IN TO GROUPS
 GROUP 1: I WILL MEET WITH YOU AND PROVIDE INSTRUCTION ON YOUR
ACTIVITY. YOU WILL HAVE A REFERENCE SHEET AND COLOR CODING
OF VIEWS ON SHAPES.
 GROUP 3: AFTER MEETING WITH GROUP 1, I WILL COME AND SHOW YOU
HOW TO CREATE ISOMETRIC DRAWINGS OF THE 3D SHAPES
 GROUP 2: AFTER MEETING WITH GROUP 2, I WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE
GOOD WITH YOUR ACTIVITY AND SHAPES.
