The three front edges, isometric axes, make an angle of 35o16 with the vertical plane of projection
Visual angle between pairs of the front corner of the cube is 120o
The projected lengths of the edges along or parallel to these axes are approximately 81% of their true length
The 900 angles of the cube appear in the isometric projection as either 1200 or 600
Alternatively:
An auxiliary plane can be used that will be perpendicular to the body diagram. This avoid turning and tilting of the object in relation to a principal plane of projection
View O or secondary auxiliary view will be an axonometric projection and will be identical to the view achieved by rotating the object in relation t

ENGINEERING GRAPHICS
Engineering is a creativeprofession:
… engineerscreate what has never been’
Why graphics?
Why engineering ?
… a universal language
… used in creationand communication
‘scientists explore what is…
But graphic images from 15,000-18,000 BC
communicate very effectively today

A universal graphic language?
Egyptian hieroglyphs were based on
recognisable graphic symbols
Chinese characters became much
more abstract
Many Western languages use standard
symbols,
but not in a universal way …

Orthographic projection
•Multi-view drawings provide the most accurate
description of 3D objects and structures for
engineering, manufacturing, and construction
requirements
Classical Projections
Orthographic Projection
•The word Orthographic means 'to draw at
right angles'. Hence orthographic
projection is a means of visualising an
object by projecting its edges at right
angles onto the projection plane.
•In practice, orthographic projection uses
two main planes, called the principal
planes of projection or planes of reference
Orthographic Projection
Projectors are orthogonal (90°)to projection
surface
Orthographic Projection
In engineering, there are two systems of
projection:
–First Angle Projection –Europe, Asia and
former European colonies in Africa and parts
of Australia
–Third Angle Projection –Used in the USA and
Canada, in Africa where American
development is taking place and parts of
Australia
FirstAngle Projection
•Fist Angle Projection -object positioned in space
in the First Quadrant.
•View on the vertical plane -ELEVATION
•View on the horizontal plane -PLAN
•To obtain the views as they would appear on a
sheet of paper, the horizontal plane is opened
out about the intersection of the planes. The line
of intersection is called the XY line, ground line
or folding line.

Advantages and Disadvantages
•Preserves both distances and angles
–Shapes preserved
–Can be used for measurements
•Building plans
•Manuals
•Cannot see what object really looks like
because many surfaces hidden from view
–Often we add the isometric (3D)
