DRWN11E: ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS

SESSION TOPIC 1: Theory of orthographic projection

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the session you will:


1. Know what the different orthographic projects are.
2. Apply orthographic knowledge to engineering practice.

KEY TERMS

Orthographic Projections Views Object


Plane Construction Parallel Oblique

CORE CONTENT

Orthographic Projections

Orthographic Projections is a technical drawing in which different views of an object are


projected on different reference planes observing perpendicular to respective reference
plane.

Different Reference planes are

 Horizontal Plane (HP)


 Vertical Plane (VP)
 Side or Profile Plane (PP)

Different views are

 Front View (FV) Projected on VP


 Top View (TV) Projected on HP
 Side View (SV) Projected on PP

Multi-view drawing
A Multiview projection is a technique of illustration by which a standardized series
of orthographic two-dimensional pictures are constructed to represent the form of
a three-dimensional object. Up to six pictures of an object are produced (called primary
views), with each projection plane parallel to one of the coordinate axes of the object.
The views are positioned relative to each other according to either of two schemes: first-
angle or third-angle projection. In each, the appearances of views may be thought of as
being projected onto planes that form a six-sided box around the object. Although six
different sides can be drawn, usually three views of a drawing give enough information
to make a three-dimensional object. These views are known as front view, top
view, and end view. Other names for these views include plan, elevation, and section.

Pictorial drawing
A view of an object (actual or imagined) as it would be seen by an observer who looks
at the objects either in a chosen direction or from a selected point view. Pictorial
sketches often are more readily made and more clearly understood than are front top
and side view of an object. Pictorial drawing either sketched freehand or made with
drawing instruments are frequently used by engineers and architects to convey ideas to
their assistants and clients.

Perspective drawing
Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin: perspicere 'to see through') is one of
two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel
projection. Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat
surface, of an image as it is seen by the eye. The most characteristic features of linear
perspective are that objects appear smaller as their distance from the observer
increases, and that they are subject to foreshortening, meaning that an object's
dimensions along the line of sight appear shorter than its dimensions across the line of
sight. All objects will recede to points in the distance, usually along the horizon line, but
also above and below the horizon line depending on the view used.
