OBJECTIVES
At the end of this class, You should be able to:
PROJECTION.
Orthographic projection can be defined as a two-dimensional drawing that
shows different views of a structure
Vertical plane
Horizontal plane
Vertical Planes:
The views on the vertical plane are front elevation and end
elevation(side elevation)
Horizontal Plane:
Where the plan of a structure is positioned below the quadrant. It is the British system of drawing
elevations.
This is a condition where the plan of a structure is positioned above the quadrant while the front view
is below the plan.
STEPS IN ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
(i) Make a sketch of the required
views (freehand drawing of how
the views should look like) in your
jotter.
sketch
(ii). With your drawing tools , in
your drawing book, Draw both the
vertical and the horizontal axis to
intersect midway
(iii).Determine the placing of the views. whether to use
first angle projection or third angle projection
To draw the front view
Fig F
(e) Use your 300 setsquare firmly placed
on the tee square to draw vertical lines of Fig
25mm as shown in fig G and fig H G
Fig H
(f) Connect the two open edges with
a line using your ruler as shown in Fig I
