1. Plans and Elevations

2. Starter Faces are the sides of a 3D shape
Edges are just the edges (obvious!)
Vertices are the corners of a 3D shape
How many of each to the following have?
Cuboid
Triangular Prism
Octahedron
F = 6
F = 5
F = 8
E = 12
E = 10
E = 12
V = 8
V = 6
V = 6

3. Plans and Elevations We have looked at a variety of 2D shapes
We are now going to move onto 3D shapes
We are going to be learning to draw plans and elevations, which are 2D drawings of 3D shapes

4. Plans and Elevations
The Plan view is the ‘overhead’ view of a shape or area
They are often used by estate agents to show customers the layout of a building

5. Plans and Elevations
The ‘front elevation’ is the view if you were standing directly in front of the object or building
The ‘side’ elevation is the view from the side of the object
It is not always obvious which way round these are – pay attention to the question!
Front elevation
Side elevation

11. Plenary

12. Summary We have looked at drawing 3D shapes in 2D
We have looked at ‘plans’, as well as viewing a shape from other directions
We also saw how to draw a shape from a plan
