Multiview Sketches Answer Key: Purpose

1) The document provides instructions for learning how to create multiview sketches, which are the standard format used by engineers to communicate design ideas. It teaches techniques for sketching objects from different views and using various line types. 2) Students are given examples of multiview sketches of objects and asked to practice sketching missing views themselves while applying techniques like using points, construction lines, and different line types. 3) The goal is to help students develop the ability to visualize objects from various angles and accurately communicate design ideas using multiview sketches, which is an important skill for engineers.

Multiview Sketches Answer Key

Purpose
It’s a very common occurrence to see a product advertisement and think, “I thought
of an idea for something like that just a few months ago.” People spend a lot of time
in their various interest areas and envision ideas for making things work better.
Spend some time with someone who has a permanent disability and see how many
product ideas come to mind that would provide a degree of freedom to a person who
has lost a physical capability years ago. Coming up with wonderful ideas are only
the first step in developing solutions to problems. At some point, ideas must be built.

You’ve practiced different techniques for sketching objects so that they appear to
have a three-dimensional quality. These techniques are excellent for quickly
communicating ideas to both technical and non-technical people. Those who make
their living building ideas require a different type of drawing format. A multiview
sketch, also referred to as an orthographic projection sketch, is the standard sketch
format used by engineers to communicate ideas to professionals in the building
trades.

However, pictorials do not provide accurate information about the true size and
shape of an object and all of its features. It is often the case that engineered objects
have features and edges that are obscured by the standard surface views of a
multiview drawing. These views require hidden lines. When engineers create
drawings of cylindrical objects, or objects that have holes, they must represent their
axes and axes points with centerlines.

Knowing how to sketch and interpret multiviews is an important skill for any
engineer.

Equipment
 Number 2 pencil
 Engineer’s notebook

Procedure
In this activity, you will develop your ability to see and sketch objects as a series of
related two-dimensional views. Understanding and using the different line
conventions, discussed earlier in this lesson, will help when creating these views.

Study the image below. The various surfaces of the object are identified by letters on
the isometric drawing and by numbers on the multiview drawing. In the table, write
the number that corresponds with the lettered surface in each of the top, front, and
right side views.

Top Front Side
A 9 3 21
B 14 8 18
C 12 1 20
D 13 4 17
E 15 2 24
F 11 6 22
G 16 7 19
H 10 5 23

Study the images below. Use points, construction lines, hidden lines, center lines
and object lines where applicable to sketch the missing view. DO NOT ERASE
YOUR POINTS AND CONSTRUCTION LINES.

The following problems have students sketching the missing views, and allowing
them to experiment with sketching other types of line conventions.

Study the isometric views in the next four pages. Use points, hidden lines construction lines, and object lines to sketch the
three common views used to explain the object. The scale is 1:1 which means each grid line on the isometric view represents
a grid line on the orthographic grid. DO NOT ERASE YOUR POINTS AND CONSTRUCTION LINES.
