Orthographic Drawing

An orthographic drawing represents a three-dimensional object using several two-dimensional views of the object. It is also known as an orthographic projection. For example you can see in this image the front, top and side views of an aircraft.

Two Different Styles There are two different styles of projection: In first angle projection , each view is shown as if the viewer is looking through the object and projecting the image on the other side. This style is the most common one used in Europe. The red arrows represent the view of the observer with the image being projected on the other side.

In third-angle projection, each view is created as if the object is projecting an image away from itself onto a plane in front of it. It is the image exactly as the observer sees it on that side. Third-angle projection is the preferred style in the United States. The results of the two styles are very similar. The main difference is the position of the images. It’s all about the perspective. First-angle and third-angle describe the perspective of the projection.

Orthographic projections are tools that allow us to represent three-dimensional objects with two-dimensional drawings. Different views Ty pically, an orthographic projection drawing consists of three different views: a front view, a top view, and a side view. Occasionally, more views are used for clarity. The side view is usually the right side, but if the left side is used, it is noted in the drawing. To draw one of the views of an object, use lines to represent changes in depth.
