WHAT ARE ENGINEERING DRAWINGS?
Introduction A type of technical drawing that is used to define requirements for engineered items. Such as... Definition: Views Dimensions Details Used In: Construction Automobiles Electronics
Fields Engineering drawings have specialized drawings that apply to their respective fields: Machine Drawings Structural Drawings Electrical Drawings Aeronautical Drawings Marine Drawings
Foundation The foundation comes from the geometrical drawing. Consists of: Plain Geometric Drawing Solid Geometric Drawing
To archive the geometric form of the design. To communicate ideas between designers and manufacturing personnel. To act as an analysing tool. To stimulate the design. To serve as a completing checker. To support large number of perspective references. Importance
Thank You Steps involved in producing Engineering Drawings
Steps: Structural scheme produced. Approval of architect. 5. Submit to authorities for approval.
Steps: Proceed to construction. Amendments of construction drawings. As-built drawings drawn. Certificate of Completion and Compliance awarded.
Elements in Engineering Drawings
Lines The difference in lines represent different meanings in an engineering drawing. Types: Construction Lines Thick active lines Thin active lines Hidden lines Centre lines Break lines Underground pipe lines Dimension lines
Scales Engineering Drawings are always to scale. 1:100 1:50 1:25 1:10 1:5 Most Common Scales:
Dimensions Factors to take into consideration: method and line type that is used for dimensioning. The linear dimension would be the overall, auxiliary depiction and the second form of dimensioning would be the diameter and radii of the structure. A mixture of the two would depict the position of ‘The Hole’ in an engineering drawing.
Shows the builder and others the required size for every parts of the building. Unbroken lines. 2 mm away from the object being dimensioned.
2-Dimensional (2D) There are multiple types of 2D Drawing Types in Structural Engineering. - Plan: ‘Top View’, ‘Floor Plan’ & ‘Roof Plan’ - Sections: ‘Cross-Section’ & ‘Longitudinal Section’ - Elevations: ‘Front Elevation’, ‘Right Elevation’, ‘Left Elevation’ and ‘Rear Elevation’
3-Dimensional (3D) 3-Dimensional engineering drawings are also known as ‘Production Drawings’ The 3-Dimensional (3D) Drawing Types: - Orthogonal Projections - Pictorial Drawing: Isometric & Oblique - ‘’Working Drawings’’
Orientation To show the direction of north relative to the plan. Level Marks To show the height of ceiling, etc
Projection of Engineering Drawings
Orthographic Projection Orthographic projection drawings are used to describe buildings, structures or objects pictorially. Showed through first and third angle projection.
Graphical Projection Graphical Projection drawings have two different types: 1) Perspective projection 2) Parallel projection
Perspective Projection Perspective Projective drawing is a linear projection where three dimensional objects are projected on a picture plane. This has the effect that distant objects appear smaller than nearer objects. Types: - One-point projection. - Two-point projection. - Three-point projection.
Methods & Rules of Projection Method: Select a view from the best position. Observe the overall structure. Note: parallelism, proportions and alignment. Rules of Projection: Parallel lines remain parallel. Proportions remain unchanged. Circles are always ellipses with the major axis of ellipse perpendicular to the polar axis of circle. Transformation of 90°angles.
Other Types of Projection Axonometric Isometric Diametric Trimetric Oblique
Symbols & Icons
Symbols for Materials Usually used in sectional views. To show the materials of the structure cut by the section plane.
