 Sketch vs Diagram vs Drawing:

Sketch: Sketch is a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not intended as a

finished work, often consisting of a multitude of overlapping lines.

Diagram: Diagram is a schematic representation of something. It is created

for scientific and technical purposes, to show how something works.

Drawing: Drawing is an accurate and realistic representation of something. It

is a form of visual art in which a person uses various drawing instruments to
mark on paper or other two-dimensional medium.

• The grade of a pencil lead is shown by figures and letters marked at

one of its ends.
• Letters HB denote the medium grade.
• The increase in hardness is shown by the value of the figure put in
front of the letter H, viz. 2H, 3H, 4H etc.
• Similarly, the grade becomes softer according to the figure placed in
front of the letter B, viz. 2B, 3B, 4B etc.

• Mechanical clutch pencils with a different lead size and grade like 5 mm, 4 mm
and H, 2H, HB etc., are also available.
• Sharpening is not required in such pencils.
Pencil drawing

In finished drawing, all lines (except construction lines- used to construct the
drawing) should be dense, clean and uniform.
Construction line should be drawn very thin and should be hardly visible in the
finished drawing ( they should not be erased).
ERASER ( RUBBER)

• Soft India-rubber is the most suitable kind of eraser for pencil drawings.
• It should be such as not to spoil the surface of the paper.
• Frequent use of rubber should be avoided by careful planning.

Standards and Conventions…
 Standards Definition

Drawing standards are set of rules that govern how technical drawings
are represented.

Why Necessary

Drawing standards are used so that drawings convey the same meaning
to everyone who reads them.
• Following the standard rules (grammar) of any language (Hindi/English) –
communication of thought between people becomes easier.

• If words in a sentence were presented randomly – understanding becomes very

difficult.

• For effective communication of technical (graphics) information– set of

standards and conventions – a must.

• Standards – set of rules that govern how technical drawings are represented..

Conventions – commonly accepted practices, rules, or methods.

Dashed lines are used to represent

hidden features of an engineering
drawing..

Hidden lines – location of drilled

hole’s diameter, in a view where the
hole cannot be directly seen.
Drawings are dimensioned using an
accepted set of standards such as placing
the dimension text such that it is read from
the bottom of the sheet.
Units of Measure

• International systems of units (SI) – which is based on the meter.

• Millimeter (mm) - The common SI unit of measure on engineering drawing.

• Individual identification of linear units is not required if all dimensions on a

drawing are in the same unit (mm).

• The drawing shall however contain a note:

• ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN mm. (Bottom left corner outside the title box)
Drawing Scales

Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE” followed by the indication

of its ratio, as follow
• SCALE 1:1 for full size
• SCALE X:1 for enlargement scales
• SCALE 1:X for reduction scales

Basic Line Types

A.KUMARASWAMY. AP, MECH

According to Bharath Standard SP46:2003.

Line thickness:

• Varied according to the drawing and are finalized either by ink or by pencil.
Inked drawings:
• The line-group is designated according to the thickness of the thickest line.
• For any particular drawing a line-group is selected according to its size and type.
• All lines should be sharp and dense so that good prints can be reproduced.

geometrical drawings only - continuous thin light lines.
 TYPES OF LINES Contd…

(6) Hatching or section lines (B): These lines are drawn to make the section evident. They are
continuous thin lines and are drawn generally at an angle of 45° to meet main outline of the
section. They are uniformly spaced about 1 mm to 2 mm apart.
(7) Leader or pointer lines (B): Leader line is drawn to connect a note with the feature to
which it applies. It is a continuous thin line.
(8) Border lines (B): Perfectly rectangular working space is determined by drawing the border
lines - continuous thin lines.

to show a short break, or irregular boundaries
TYPES OF LINES Contd….

(10) Long-break lines (D): These lines are thin ruled lines with short zigzags with in
them. They are drawn to show long breaks.
(11) Hidden or dotted lines (E or F):
• Interior or hidden edges and surfaces are shown by hidden lines.
• They are of medium thickness and made up of short dashes of approximately equal
lengths of about 2 mm spaced at equal distances of about 1 mm.
• When a hidden line meets or intersects another hidden line or an outline, their
point of intersection or meeting should be clearly shown.
TYPES OF LINES Contd…

(12) Centre lines (G):

• indicates the axes of cylindrical, conical or spherical objects or details, and also to show
the centres of circles and arcs. They are thin, long, chain lines composed of alternately
long and dot spaced approximately 1 mm apart.
• The long dashes are about 9 to 12 mm.
• Centre lines should extend for a short distance beyond the outlines to which they refer.
• The point of intersection between two centre lines must always be indicated.
• Locus lines, extreme positions of movable parts and pitch circles are also shown by this
type of line.

Lettering

• Writing of titles, sub-titles, dimensions, scales and other details on a drawing

• Essential features of lettering – legibility, uniformity, ease, rapidity, and

suitability for microfilming/ photocopying/any other photographic processes

• No ornamental and embellishing style of letter

• Plain letters and numerals which are clearly distinguishable from each other in
order to avoid any confusion even in case of slight mutilations
Lettering – BIS: 9609

• Single stroke lettering for use in engineering drawing.

• Width of the stem of the letters and numerals will be uniformly thick equal to
thickness of lines produced by the tip of the pencil.

• Single stroke does not mean – entire letter written without lifting the
pencil/pen
Lettering types

• Lettering A – Height of the capital letter is divided into 14 equal parts

• Lettering B – Height of the capital letter is divided into 10 equal parts
Heights of Letters and Numerals

DIMENSIONING
Dimensioning

• Indicating on a drawing, the size of the object and other details essential for its
construction and function, using lines, numerals, symbols, notes, etc.
• These are essential for the production, inspection and functioning of the object
Types of dimensions
• Two types of dimensions needed on a drawing are:
• (i) size or functional dimensions
indicate sizes, viz. length, breadth, height, depth, diameter etc
• (ii) location or datum dimensions (shown by letters F and L respectively).
show locations or exact positions of various constructional details
within the object.
The letter F represents functional dimensions, while NF represents
non-functional dimensions.
Dimensioning Terms and Notations

(1) Dimension line :

• Dimension line is a thin continuous line.
• It is terminated by arrowheads touching the outlines, extension lines or centre
lines.

(2) Extension line :

• A thin continuous line drawn in extension of an outline.
• Formerly, the B.I.S. had recommended that a gap of about 1 mm should be kept
between the extension line and an outline or object boundry.
• It extends by about 3 mm beyond the dimension line.
 A.KUMARASWAMY. AP, MECH

(3) Arrowhead :
• An arrowhead is placed at each end of a dimension line.
• Its pointed end touches an outline, an extension line or a centre line.
• The size of an arrowhead should be proportional to the thickness of the outlines.
• The length of the arrowhead should be about three times its maximum width.
• It is drawn freehand with two strokes made in the direction of its pointed end.
• The space between them is neatly filled up.
• Different types of arrow heads are shown in fig ( next slide ).
• Generally closed and filled arrowhead is widely used in engineering drawing.
(4) Leader :
• A leader or a pointer is a thin continuous line connecting a note or a dimension figure with the feature
to which it applies.
• One end of the leader terminates either in an arrowhead or a dot.
• The arrowhead touches the outline, while the dot is placed within the outline of the object.
• The other end of the leader is terminated in a horizontal line at the bottom level of the first or the last
letter of the note.
• The leader is never drawn vertical or horizontal or curved.
• It is drawn at a convenient angle of not less than 30° to the line to which it touches.
• When pointing to a circle or an arc it is drawn radially. Use of common leaders for more than one
feature should never be made.
Placing of Dimensions:

The two systems of placing dimensions are:

(1) Aligned system and

(2) Unidirectional system.

Aligned system :

• Dimension is placed per-

pendicular to the dimension line
• It may be read from the bottom
edge or the right-hand edge of the
drawing sheet.
• The dimensions should be placed
near the middle and above, but
clear of the dimension lines. View
 Unidirectional system:
• All dimensions are placed that they can
be read from the bottom edge of the
drawing sheet.
• The dimension lines are broken near the
middle for inserting the dimensions.
• This system is mainly used on large
drawings - as of aircrafts, automobiles
etc. where it is inconvenient to read
dimensions from the right-hand side.
View
GENERAL RULES FOR DIMENSIONING

• Dimensioning should be done completely that further calculation or assumption

of any dimension, or direct measurement from the drawing is not necessary.
• Every dimension must be given, but none should be given more than once.
• A dimension should be placed on the view where its use is shown more clearly.
• Dimensions should be placed outside the views, unless they are clearer and more
easily read inside.
 GENERAL RULES FOR DIMENSIONING

• Mutual crossing of dimension lines and dimensioning between hidden lines

should be avoided. Dimension lines should not cross any other line of the
drawing.
• An outline or a centre line should never be used as a dimension line. A centre
line may be extended to serve as an extension line.
• Aligned system of dimensioning is recommended.
• Dimension lines should be drawn at least 8 mm away from the outlines and
from each other.
 GENERAL RULES FOR DIMENSIONING

• Smaller dimensions should be

placed nearer the view and the
larger further away so that extension
lines do not cross dimension lines.

• Extension lines may cross each other

or the outlines

What is Cone ?

▪ It is a surface generated by moving a Straight line

keeping one of its end fixed & other end makes a Vertex/Apex
closed curve.
▪ The fixed point is known as vertex or apex.
▪ The closed curve is known as base.
▪ If the base/closed curve is a circle, we get a cone. 90º
▪ If the base/closed curve is a polygon, we get a
pyramid. Base
 What is Cone ?

▪ The line joins apex to the center of base is called

axis. Vertex/Apex

▪ If axes is perpendicular to base, it is called as right Cone Axis

circular cone. Generator
▪ If axis of cone is not perpendicular to base, it is
called as oblique cone. 90º

▪ The line joins vertex/ apex to the circumference of a

cone is known as generator.
Base
CONICS

▪ Definition :- The section obtained by the intersection of a right circular cone

by a cutting plane in different position relative to the axis of the cone are
called CONICS.

 CONIC SECTIONS

• When the section plane is inclined to the axis and cuts all the generators on one
side of the apex, the section is an ellipse.

• When the section plane is inclined to the axis and is parallel to one of the
generators, the section is a parabola.

• A hyperbola is a plane curve having two separate parts or branches, formed when
two cones that point towards one another are intersected by a plane that is parallel
to the axes of the cones.
 CONIC SECTIONS

• The conic may be defined as the locus of a point moving in a plane in such a way that
the ratio of its distances from a fixed point and a fixed straight line is always constant.
• The fixed point is called the focus and the fixed line, the directrix.
• The ratio of “the distance of the point from the focus to the distance of the point from
the directrix” is called eccentricity and is denoted by “e”. It is always
(i) ellipse : e < 1 (ii) parabola : e = 1 (iii) hyperbola : e > 1
• The line passing through the focus and perpendicular to directrix is called the axis.
• The point at which the conic cuts its axis is called the vertex.
ECCENTRICITY

Distance of the moving point from the focus

e=
Distance of the moving point from the directrix

Note
If the e < 1, curve obtained is Ellipse
If the e = 1, curve obtained is Parabola
If the e > 1, curve obtained is Hyperbola

• Use of elliptical curves is made in arches, bridges, dams, monuments, manholes,

glands and stuffing-boxes etc.

 Cycloidal Curves
• These curves are generated by a fixed point on the circumference of a circle, which rolls
without slipping along a fixed straight line or a circle.

• The rolling circle is called generating

circle and the fixed straight line or circle is
termed directing line or directing circle.
Cycloidal curves are used in tooth profile
of gears of a dial gauge.

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS - Principle.

• 'ORTHO' means right angle and orthographic means right angled drawing.
• When the projectors are perpendicular to the plane on which the projection
is obtained, it is known as orthographic projection.
• It is a parallel projection technique in which different views of an object are
projected on different reference planes observing perpendicular to respective
reference plane.
Reference planes or Principal planes

• Horizontal Plane (HP)

• Vertical Frontal Plane ( VP )
• Side Or Profile Plane ( PP)

Views in Orthographic projections

• Front View (FV) - FV is a view projected on VP.
• Top View (TV) - TV is a view projected on HP.
• Side View (SV) - SV is a view projected on PP.
Orthographic Rules:

To draw on drawing sheet: 2 Dimensional

• Always Rotate the HP 90° through clockwise
• Always Rotate the PP 90° anti-clockwise for LSV
• Always Rotate the PP 90° clockwise for RSV
• OBJECT - Orientation and position will be described in the problem

PROJECTION OF PLANES AND SOLIDS 6+9

• Projection of Plane Figures – Inclined to any one Principal Plane

• Projection of Solids – Simple Solids (Prisms, Pyramids, Cone and
Cylinder) axis inclined to any one Principal Plane
 Projections of Planes

• A plane is a two dimensional object having length and breadth only.

• Thickness is negligible.

A. KUMARASWAMY. AP, MECH

 Types of Planes

1. Perpendicular plane which have their surface perpendicular to any one of

the reference planes and parallel or inclined to the other reference plane.

2. Oblique plane which have their surface inclined to both the reference
planes.
Positions of a Plane Surfaces

Perpendicular planes
▪ Surface of the plane kept perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP
▪ Surface of the plane kept perpendicular to VP and parallel to HP
▪ Surface of the plane kept perpendicular to both HP and VP
▪ Surface of the plane kept inclined to HP and perpendicular to VP
▪ Surface of the plane kept inclined to VP and perpendicular to HP
Oblique plane
▪ Surface of the plane kept inclined to both HP & VP
Traces of planes

▪ A plane, extended if necessary, will meet the reference planes in lines unless it is
parallel to any one of them. These lines are called traces of planes.

▪ The line in which the plane meets the H.P is called the horizontal trace or H.T of
the plane.

▪ The line in which the plane meets the V.P is called the vertical trace or V.T of the
plane.

Points to remember :

• When a plane surface is parallel to HP, top view shows its true shape &
size. Therefore, draw the top view first. Project the front view from it.

• When a plane surface is parallel to VP, front view shows its true shape &
size. Therefore, draw the front view first. Project the top view from it.

PROJECTION OF PLANES AND SOLIDS 6+9

• Projection of Plane Figures – Inclined to any one Principal Plane

• Projection of Solids – Simple Solids (Prisms, Pyramids, Cone and
Cylinder) axis inclined to any one Principal Plane
Projections of Solids (Axis perpendicular to one Plane)
Basic building blocks

• Components have different shapes.

• Any component will be formed of a single solid or combination of solids of
different shapes.
• The most common geometrical solids are prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres,
pyramids.
• Thus, drawing of components like machine parts require a thorough knowledge
of projections basic solids.
Projection of Solids

• A solid has three dimensions- length, breadth and thickness.

• At least two orthographic views are necessary to represent a solid.
• Sometimes, additional views projected on auxiliary planes become
necessary to make the complete description of a solid.
Types of Solids

1. Polyhedra

2. Solids of Revolution
Polyhedra:

• A polyhedron is defined as a solid bounded by planes called faces.

• When all the faces are equal and regular, the polyhedron is said to be regular.
• Seven regular polyhedra :
• Tetrahedron
• Cube or hexahedron
• Octahedron
• Dodecahedron
• Icosahedron
• Prism
• Pyramid
Tetrahedron: Cube or hexahedron

• It has four equal faces, each an • It has six faces, all equal squares.
equilateral triangle.
Octahedron

• It has eight equal equilateral triangles as faces.

Dodecahedron :

• It has twelve equal and regular pentagons as faces.

Icosahedron :

• It has twenty faces, all equal equilateral triangles.

Prism

• This is a polyhedron having two equal and similar faces called its ends or
bases, parallel to each other and joined by other faces which are
parallelograms.
• The imaginary line joining the centres of the bases is called the axis.
• A right and regular prism has its axis perpendicular to the bases.
• All its faces are equal rectangles.

Pyramid:

• This is a polyhedron having a plane figure as a base and a number of triangular

faces meeting at a point called the vertex or apex.
• The imaginary line joining the apex with the centre of the base is its axis.
• A right and regular pyramid has its axis perpendicular to the base which is a
regular plane figure.
• Its faces are all equal isosceles triangles.

according to the shape of their
bases, as triangular, square,
pentagonal, hexagonal etc.

Solids of revolution:

• Cylinder
• Cone
• Sphere

Cylinder :
• A right circular cylinder is a solid generated by the revolution of a rectangle about
one of its sides which remains fixed.
• It has two equal circular bases.
• The line joining the centres of the bases is the axis. It is perpendicular to the bases.
Cylinder :
Cone :

• A right circular cone is a solid generated by the revolution of a right-angled

triangle about one of its perpendicular sides which is fixed.
• It has one circular base.
• Its axis joins the apex with the centre of the base to which it is perpendicular.
• Straight lines drawn from the apex to the circumference of the base-circle are all
equal and are called generators of the cone.
• The length of the generator is the slant height of the cone.

***Oblique cylinders and cones have their axes inclined to their bases.
Cone :
Sphere :

• A sphere is a solid generated by the revolution of a semi-circle about its diameter

as the axis.
• The mid-point of the diameter is the centre of the sphere.
• All points on the surface of the sphere are equidistant from its centre.
Frustum

• When a pyramid or a cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base, Thus removing the
top portion, the remaining portion is called its frustum
 Truncated Solids

• When a solid is cut by a plane inclined to the base it is said to be truncated.

• ***In our syllabus, mostly right and regular solids are prescribed. Hence, when a
solid is named without any qualification, it should be understood as being right
and regular.
Projections of Solids - Positions

A solid position may be defined by its axis position. Hence,

1. Solid axis perpendicular to the HP and parallel to VP.

TUTORIAL VI
2. Solid axis perpendicular to the VP and parallel to HP.

3. Solid axis parallel to both the HP and the VP.

4. Solid axis inclined to the VP and parallel to the HP. TUTORIAL VII

5. Solid axis inclined to the HP and parallel to the VP.

6. Solid axis inclined to both HP and VP. Not in

syllabus
Steps

1. Start the projection that shows the true shape and size of the base.
2. Identify the axis which is perpendicular to the any one reference plane.
3. On that reference plane draw the true shape.
4. When the axis is parallel to both the reference planes, the true shape of the base
can be seen from its side view where an auxiliary plane perpendicular to both
the reference planes can be used.
5. When the axis is inclined to any one reference plane, assume the axis is
perpendicular to that plane and draw the initial step, then proceed to inclined
position.

Projections of Solids

(Axis Inclined to one Plane)

A. Kumaraswamy
 PROJECTIONS OF SOLIDS WITH AXES INCLINED TO ONE OF THE
REFERENCE PLANES AND PARALLEL TO THE OTHER
In this case, the projections are drawn in two stages.

• Stage I : In the initial stage, the solid is assumed to be in simple position

• Stage II : Final projections may be obtained by one of the following two methods:

• (i) Change of position method: The position of one of the views is altered as
required and the other view projected from it.

• (ii) Change of reference line (auxiliary plane) method: A new reference

line is drawn according to the required conditions, to represent an auxiliary
plane and the final view projected on it.

The object Conventional hidden line technique

• Many times the interior of an object is so complicated that it is impossible or very difficult to
represent that interior with conventional hidden lines.
• This often causes confusion in reading and interpreting the drawing. Therefore, sectioning is
required in these cases.
 Section Views

The object cut Section technique

• Sectioning is a technique by which the object is sliced and the cutaway view of the part is then drawn.
• To show the construction clearly in many hollow objects, the front part is imagined to be removed to reveal the
interior surface.
• Where and when this occurs the edges are represented with solid lines and the cut surface is crosshatched or
section lined.
• The interior detail is now shown more clearly because the hidden lines have been replaced with visible object
lines.
Hatching

The spacing between lines may vary from 1.5 mm for small sectioned areas to
3 mm for large sectioned areas.

 UNIT – III

SECTION OF SOLIDS & DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACES 6+9

• Section of Solids – Sectional views of simple vertical solids cut by

section plane inclined to any one Principal Plane.
• Development of Surfaces – Development of lateral surfaces of
truncated and frustum of simple solids
Prior skill set…

✓ First angle projection

✓ Lines and its types

✓ Projection of plane surfaces

✓ Projection of solids

✓ Sectioning of solids
Convention…

ALL DIMENTIONS ARE IN “mm”

Development of Surfaces

“The development of surface of an object is the unrolling or unfolding of all

surfaces of an object on a plane.”

Otherwise,

“If the surface of a solid is laid out on a plain surface, the shape thus

obtained is called the development of that solid.”

Principle of Development:

Every line on the development should show the true length of the

corresponding line on the surface which is developed.

Applications of Development of Surfaces

❖ Sheet metal work

❖ Marine and automotive body building

❖ Construction of storage vessels

❖ Computer and electronic casings

❖ Boilers

❖ Chimneys

❖ Etc …..
Methods of Development

❑ Parallel Line Development or Stretch out line method (prism, cylinder)

❑ Radial Line Development (pyramid, cone)

❑ Triangulation Development (transition pieces)

❑ Approximate Development (double curved or warped surfaces – sphere,

paraboloid, ellipsoid, hyperboloid and helicoid.

 ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS

To draw projections of any object,

A) Object : {Machine element with it’s description, well defined.}

B) Observer : { Direction of view}

C) 3D view of the object, {Isometric preferably}

D) Views to draw: {FV, TV and RSV or LSV}

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS {MACHINE ELEMENTS}

✓ Object is observed in three directions.

✓ The directions should be normal to the respective planes.
✓ And now project three different views on those planes.
✓ These veiws are front view, top view and side view.
▪ Front view is a view projected on vertical plane (VP)
▪ Top view is a view projected on horizontal plane (HP)
▪ Side view is a view projected on profile plane (PP)
✓ Recognize surfaces perpendicular to the arrow directions
 FOR T.V.

METHODS OF PROJECTION

▪ Orthographic projection

▪ Isometric projection

▪ Oblique projection

▪ Perspective projection.
Isometric Projection

▪ It is a method of producing pictorial view of an object showing all three

faces of the object simultaneously on a single reference plane.

▪ It is a type of parallel projection

▪ The angles between any two of the three coordinate axes is 120°

▪ The actual (True) sizes can be measured directly from Isometric view.
3D Drawings in Different Ways

Purpose of isometric drawing is to understand overall shape, size &

appearance of an object prior to it’s production.
ISO CONDITION.

H
H

In this 3-d drawing of an object, all three dimensional axes are mentained
at equal inclinations with each other.( 1200)
ISOMETRIC TERMINOLOGY

• The three coordinate axes are called isometric axes

• Any line parallel to isometric axes is called isometric line

• A non-isometric line is a line not parallel to any one of the three

isometric axis
• In isometric projection of cube, the faces of the cube and any plane
parallel to them is called isometric planes
Principle of Isometric Projection

 Perspective Projection

• Perspective projection or perspective drawing is the

representation of an object on a plane surface, called
the picture plane, as it would appear to the eye, when
viewed from a fixed position.
• It is a geometric technique used to produce a three-
dimensional graphic image on a plane, corresponding
to what a person actually sees.
• It is a type of photographic projection.

A Kumaraswamy AP/MEC
4
 Perspective Projection

• It may also be defined as the figure formed on the

picture plane when visual rays from the eye to the object
cut the picture plane.
• Perspective is mainly used in architecture.
• By means of perspective, the architect is able to show
how an object would appear when constructed.

A Kumaraswamy AP/MEC
5
 PRINCIPLE OF PERSPECTIVE PROJECTION

• In perspective projection, the eye is assumed to be situated

at a definite position relative to the object.
• The vertical plane, which (in perspective) is called the
picture plane, is placed between the object and the eye.
• Visual rays from the eye to the object converge to a point in
the eye and are, therefore, inclined to the picture plane.
• The rays pierce the picture plane and form an image on it.
This image is the perspective of the object.

 Terminology
1. Ground plane (GP): It is a horizontal plane on which the object is
assumed to be situated.
2. Station point (S): It is the point where the eye of the observer is
located while viewing the object.
3. Picture plane (PP): It is a vertical transparent plane located between
the station point and the object which is to be viewed. It is the plane
on which the perspective is formed. The FV of perspective elements
and of the object (if necessary) is also projected on this plane.
4. Horizon plane (HP): This imaginary plane is at the level of the eye,
i.e. the station point. It is a horizontal plane, above the ground plane
and at right angles to the picture plane.
A Kumaraswamy AP/MEC
14
 Terminology

5. Auxiliary ground plane (AGP): It is a horizontal plane placed above

the horizon plane. The top view of the object and of the perspective
elements projected on this plane.
6. Ground line (GL): The line of intersection of the picture plane with
the ground plane is called the ground line.
7. Horizon line (HL): It is the line in which the horizon plane intersects
the picture plane. It is parallel to the ground line.
8. Perpendicular axis (PA): It is the line drawn through the station point
perpendicular to the picture plane. It is, sometimes called the Line of
sight or Axis of vision.

A Kumaraswamy AP/MEC
15
 Terminology

9. Centre of vision (C): The point in which the perpendicular axis

pierces the picture plane is called the centre of vision. It lies on the
horizon line.
10. Central plane (CP): It is an imaginary vertical plane, which passes
through the station point and the centre of vision. It contains the
perpendicular axis. It is perpendicular to both, the picture plane
and the ground plane.

 TYPES OF PERSPECTIVES
▪ There are two types of perspectives which are commonly used,
(i) Parallel perspective or One point perspective and
(ii) Angular perspective or Two point perspective.
▪ When an object is positioned in such a way that one of the principal
faces (eg., base or face of a solid) is parallel to the picture plane, the
perspective view obtained is called as parallel perspective or one
point perspective.
▪ When an object is positioned in such a way that the principal faces
are inclined to the picture plane, the perspective view obtained is
called an angular perspective or two point perspective.
