Learning Outcome
1: Construct
Orthographic
Views
OBJECTIVES: At
the end of the
lesson, you should
be able to:
A. Defines
technical terms;
B. Differentiates
the two methods of
shape
representation; and
C. Identify the ten
principles to be
considered in
construction
orthographic
drawing/projection.
Orthographic
projection is a
method of
representing the
exact shape of the
object by dropping
two or more
perpendicular to a
plane generally at
right angle.
Two Methods of
Shape
Representation
Orthographic
view is a
representation of
two or more
separate views.
This can be
represented into six
principal views and
regular views.
1. The Three
Regular Views
(see Fig. 1)
Orthographic views
can be represented
by two or more
separate views;
however, it is
advisable to
illustrate three
views to show clear
and detail
presentation of at
least three principal
views of the object.
The following are:
A.
Top
View
B. Front
View
C. Side
View
2. The Six
Principal Views
A. Top View. It is
drawn above the
front.
B. Front View. It is
drawn vertically
aligned and below
the top view.
C. Right Side
View. This located
at the right side and
aligned with the
front view.
D. Left Side View.
The opposite of the
right side view. It is
located at the left
side and aligned
with the front view.
E. Rear View. The
opposite view of the
front view. It is
located aligned
after either at the
right-side view or
left side view.
F. Bottom View.
The opposite of the
top view. This must
be drawn vertically
aligned and below
the front view.
Plan View or Top
View This can be a
little more difficult
to visualize because
you have to
imagine yourself
moving over the top
of the object and
looking vertically
downward. The left-
hand and right-
hand illustration
below shows how
the plan is placed
above the front.
Again, first sketch
the light vertical
construction lines to
locate the plan in
its proper position.
Draw these upward
from each corner of
the front view and
line-in the plan of
the right.
Front View
Concentrate in the
front view. If you
look at it correctly
the effect will be as
seen below on the
left, while the below
right illustration
shows what you will
actually see. Notice
in the left-hand
drawing that can
only see the dark-
inked front “face” of
the object. Notice
also that you
cannot see any of
the other sides of
the object. This is
because all those
sides are “going
away” from you in
your line of sight
and are simply not
visible from your
view point. They are
still there, of
course, but are
hidden behind the
outer edges of the
first face.
Right-Side View
Right-side view is to
add the right-side
view. Imagine
moving around the
object to look
directly at its right
side. How you see it
is show below-left
and what you see is
shown below-right.
Pictorial View is a
representation of a
complete shape of
the object.
The Space
Dimension
This refers to the
three dimensions
standard of the
pictorial view, such
as; height, width,
and depth. Height is
the distance
elevation from top
to bottom Width is
the distance from
left side to the
right-side Depth is
the distance from
front to rear
TEN PRINCIPLES
OF
ORTHOGRAPHIC
PROJECTION
1. Top view is
directly above the
front view 2. Side
views are
horizontally aligned
with the front view
and rear view.
3. The width of the
top view is equal to
the width of the
side view.
4. When a line or
edge is viewed
perpendicularly to a
plane or projection
will appear as a
point.
5. A line or edge
parallel to a plane
of projection will
also appear as a
line or edge in its
exact shape or true
length. 6. A line or
edge inclined to the
plane of projection
will appear shorter
or foreshortened.
7. A surface
perpendicular to the
plane will appear as
a line or edge equal
in length to the
nearest edge of the
surface, which in
this case is either
its length or its
width depending on
its position.
8. A surface parallel
to the plane of
projection will be
shown in its exact
or true shape and
size. 9. A surface
inclined to the
plane of projection
will also appear as a
surface but smaller
in size and shape.
10. No line or edge
of the object can be
projected longer
than its true length.
