Orthographic projection (or orthogonal

projection) is a means of representing a

three-dimensional object in two

dimensions.

It is a form of parallel projection, where

all the projection lines are orthogonal to

the projection plane.

It is further divided into multi view

orthographic projections.

The views are positioned relative to each

other according to either of two

schemes:

Within orthographic projection there is

the subcategory known as pictorials.

Axonometric pictorials shows an image

of an object as viewed from a skew

direction in order to reveal all three

directions (axes) of space in a single

picture

Orthographic projections are a way of describing what an object looks like from several different views.

Orthographic are also called engineering drawings or plan views.

Using a set of orthographic an Illustrator can easily draw the three-dimensional object from any angle and in perspective, isometric or any number of other drawing systems.

3D modelers often use orthographic to accurately create an object in a 3D application.

An orthographic is one way to describe a three dimensional object in two-dimensional space.

Typically an orthographic will have the top, side and front views of an object drawn together with some kind of scale.

Length

• FRONT VIEW = LONGEST SIDE =

LENGTH AND HEIGHT

• SIDE VIEW = DEPTH AND HEIGHT

• TOP VIEW = LENGTH AND DEPTH

Based on the reading, create an orthographic projection of each drawing.

Each block requires a different sheet

On each drafting sheet indicate the front

view, top, and side view.

Include a title block

Sample of title is included in the reading

Please remember that the front view has the most detail
