Arch 1301
• Descriptive Geometry –

• Is the graphic descripti on of three dimensional


geometry.
• Is the science of graphic representation and
solution of space problems.
Objective
• Equipping students wit h the required knowledge
that enables them to solve three dimensional
problems by using their two dimensional
representation.
Basics of Descriptive Geometr y
Point – A point is a theoretical location in space
and has no dimension.
- However a series of points can establish
areas, volumes and lengths.
Line - A line is a straight path between two points
in space.
- A line can appear in three forms
– as a foreshortened line
- as a true length line
- as a point
Plane - The jucstaposition of countless number of
straight lines results i n a plane.
Orthographic Projection – is a method of
representing an object by a line drawin g on a
projection plane that is perpendicular to
parallel projectors.
- A direct translation f rom the Greek would
mean “ to draw at right angles”.
The principal projection planes are :
The Horizontal plane ( H )
The Frontal plane (F)
The Profile plane (P)
Line delineating these planes are called reference
lines.
Position of an object (be it a point, a line or a plane)
is described in reference to these lines.
Pictorial Draw ing –is a representation of a three
dimensional object on a two dimensional sheet of
paper.
Types: Axonometric Projection
Oblique Projection
Central/Perspective Projection
Axonometric Projection – is a form of orthographic
projection with its disti nguishing diff erence
that only one plane is used in stead of two or
more planes to represent an object.

- The object is placed i n an inclined position


with respect to the plane of projection so that
its principal f aces will be displayed.
Oblique Projection – is a kind of parallel projection
in which the parallel projectors are oblique
(but not perpendicular) to the picture plane.

- As a result ,more than one face of a solid


object may be projected on a single picture
plane.
Central/ Perspective Projection – is a view
attained when an observer is places at a f ixed
distance from the object being projected, the
projectors would converge to a point called
point of sight, where the observer is
stationed.

- In perspective projection ,the resulting vie w


formed on the picture plane is of a di fferent
size and size as compared to the actual
object.

AXONOMETRY
The Basic Theory of Axonometric Projection

This is a conceptualize d three stepped


explanation of Axonometric Projection.

Step 1 - Object is placed in its customary position, with its


one principal face parallel to the projection plane.

Step 2 – It is then rotated from its ordinary position through a


proper angle about the vertical axis so that two of its faces
will be projected.

Step 3 – The object is finally tilted through a proper angle so that


the third side will also be displayed on the projection plane.
Types of Axonometric Projection

Isometric Projection
Diametric Projection
Trimetric Projection
Isometric Construction b y the box method

Objects of irregular nature maybe constructed more easily by


means of the box-method. In this method, the object is assumed
to be fully enclosed within an isometric box whose sides
coincide with the overall dimensions of the object. The following
are the steps given the orthographic views.
Given Orthographic View s
Step 1 – Axes
Step 2 – The Box
Step 3 – Measurement Transfer
Step 4 – Bolden
Step 5 – Final
