1. Orthographic Projection

2. TODAY’S OBJECTIVE…
Introduce the basic principles of orthographic projection
Construct an orthographic Multiview of a simple object
Visualize 3-D objects from multiview orthographic drawings

3. ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
Ortho – Greek word meaning perpendicular
Orthographic literally means perpendicular view
To look straight at an objects hides a dimension
Show the views of a 3-D object projected in 2-D
Most common is the front top and side views

4. MULTIVIEWS (third angle of projection)
Picture an object in the center of a glass cube
Project the surfaces onto the faces of the glass cube

5. Multiviews: Unfold the cube so that it lies in a single plane
Multiple views of the object are now visible on the same plane in space

8. There are SIX PRINCIPLE VIEWS
Front, Top, Right, Left, Bottom & Back
In this class we know which view we are looking at by it’s relationship to the front side view – NEVER LABEL YOUR VIEWS in this class!

9. There are SIX PRINCIPLE VIEWS
Although there are six principle views you only need to draw the ones that are necessary to define the object
It is common to show three principle views in this class, front, top & side

10. MULTIVIEWS: FRONT VIEW: Height and Width (Profile Plane)
When the glass cube is unfolded:
FRONT VIEW: Height and Width (Profile Plane)
TOP VIEW: Width and Depth (Horizontal Plane)
RIGHT SIDE VIEW: Depth and Height (Vertical Plane)

11. MULTIVIEWS: Align views with each other (features project from one view to the next)

12. POINTS, LINES & SURFACES
Point – a location in space - often the intersection of at least two object lines
When projecting a point to the adjacent view, it is always on a straight line parallel to the plane of projection
Such that when projecting a point from the front side view to the top side view it would be directly above it

13. Planes

14. POINTS, LINES & SURFACES
(Object) Lines – represent the intersection of two surfaces & are projected by using their endpoints
Four Types of object lines (three are straight)
Normal – (Horizontal & Vertical) appear true length on two planes of projection and as a point in the third
Inclined – parallel to one plane of projection (true size) an inclined to the other two (foreshortened)
Oblique – not parallel, not perpendicular to any plane of projection (foreshortened in all three planes of projection)
Curved (not straight) – only circles and arcs of circles can be projected using its endpoints

16. POINTS, LINES & SURFACES
Four types of surfaces
Normal – Given three views, a normal surface will appear true in size & shape in one and as an edge in the other two
Inclined –will appear foreshortened in two views & the edge view will be neither horizontal or vertical
Oblique – will appear foreshortened in all three view
Curved – Cylinders appear as a circle in one view and as rectangle in the adjacent view
This lesson will focus on normal surfaces

18. MULTIVIUEWS: NORMAL SURFACES
Parallel to one of the three planes of projection in which it appears true in size & shape

19. MULTIVIUEWS: NORMAL SURFACES
Parallel to one of the three planes or two panes of glass in our transparent cube
Show true size and shape in the view they are parallel to
Shown as edges in other principle views

20. MULTIVIUEWS: LINE TYPES
When two surfaces meet it creates a line (edge)
When that edge is visible we use an object line (a clear, crisp & dark solid line)
When that edge is behind a surface (not visible) we use a hidden line (a clear, crisp & dark dashed line)
When a hidden line is directly behind an object line the object line takes precedent

21. Select an appropriate front side view and begin to hand sketch a multiview (Front, Top, side) of this part now.
Do not worry about scale but do your best to project (align) points, lines and surfaces to the adjacent views .
