ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS - Principle.
•'ORTHO' means right angle and orthographic means right angled drawing.
•When the projectors are perpendicular to the plane on which the projection
is obtained, it is known as orthographic projection.
•It is a parallel projection technique in which different viewsof an object are
projected on different reference planes observing perpendicular to respective
reference plane.
A.KUMARASWAMY. AP, MECH
Reference planes or Principal planes
•Horizontal Plane (HP)
•Vertical Frontal Plane ( VP )
•Side Or Profile Plane ( PP)
Views in Orthographic projections
•Front View (FV) - FV is a view projected on VP.
•Top View (TV) - TV is a view projected on HP.
•Side View (SV) - SV is a view projected on PP.

•Components have different shapes.
•Any component will be formed of a single solid or combination of solids
of different shapes.
•The most common geometrical solids are prisms, cylinders, cones,
spheres, pyramids.
•Thus, drawing of components like machine parts require a thorough
knowledge of projections basic solids.
Basic building blocks

Projection of Solids
•A solid has three dimensions- length, breadth and thickness.
•At least two orthographic views are necessary to represent a solid.
•Sometimes, additional views projected on auxiliary planes become
necessary to make the complete description of a solid.

Steps
1. Start the projection that shows the true shape and size of the base.
2. Identify the axis which is perpendicular to the any one reference plane.
3. On that reference plane draw the true shape.
4. When the axis is parallel to both the reference planes, the true shape of the
base can be seen from its side view where an auxiliary plane perpendicular
to both the reference planes can be used.
5. When the axis is inclined to any one reference plane, assume the axis is
perpendicular to that plane and draw the initial step, then proceed to
inclined position.

•Stage II : Final projections may be obtained by one of the followingtwo

•(i) Change of position method: The position of one of the viewsis altered as
required and the other view projected from it.
•(ii) Change of reference line (auxiliary plane) method : A new reference

Sectioning is a technique by which the object is sliced and the cutaway view of the part is then drawn.
To show the construction clearly in many hollow objects, the front part is imagined to be removed to
reveal the interior surface.
Where and when this occurs the edges are represented with solid lines and the cut surface is
crosshatched or section lined.
The interior detail is now shown more clearly because the hidden lines have been replaced with visible
object lines.
