Transcript of Orthographic Projection (1)
Orthographic ProjectionCreated by Steven Colgan
What is Orthographic Projection?•Orthographic Projection is a method of
representing a three dimensional object on paper using several two dimensional views.
•It is the international language of Engineers and Designers
How does it work?
•We look directly at the different faces of the object (90˚ to the face) and draw the lines that we see.
•Click here to view the movie
How many views?
•One view is never enough to describe an object.
•We need at least two views to accurately describe even the most simple of objects.
•Generally we se three views and arrange them as shown in the movie
•Click here to view the movie.•You can use as many views as the object
requires.
Is it really an international language?•Yes. However America and Australia
arrange the views differently.•This arrangement of views is called third
angle projection.•Click here to view the movie
How do I know which method is being used?•Each method has its own symbol and they
are as follows•First angle projection
•Third angle projection
How do I draw this symbol?
•The recommended proportions for the symbol are as follows
How did they get their names?
•The name first angle is derived from the objects position in the first quadrant of the planes of reference.
•The name third angle is derived from the objects position in the third quadrant of the planes of reference.
Is that it?
•Sometimes features of an object are hidden (for example they are at the back of the object)
•To show these features we add dashed lines in their place.
•Click here to view the movie•If a dashed line meets a thick line leave a
gap as shown•Click here to view the movie
There’s too many dashed lines!
• If there is too much hidden detail and the drawing becomes confusing use a sectional view
•Click here to view the movie•Draw the Hatching lines at 45˚ as shown•Always place the section line (the dashed
line that ends in arrows) exactly were you are cutting the object.

Anything else?
•Make sure you keep your drawing neat. •Recommended proportions are shown
below.•Keep construction lines light and finished
lines heavy
