    The document discusses different systems for architectural drawing, including orthographic projection. Orthographic projection uses parallel projectors to represent a 3D object in 2D views. The main views are the front, side, and top views. Together these views provide details to understand the 3D object. The document also explains the steps for orthographic projection, such as choosing a front view and using projectors to determine the boundaries of other views.

    Architectural Drawing Systems

    The central task of architectural drawing is representing three-dimensional


    forms, constructions, and spatial environments on a two-dimensional
    surface.

    Three distinct types of drawing systems:

     Multiview
     Paraline
     Perspective drawings

    Projection Drawing
    1) Orthographic projection
     Projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the picture plane.
    2) Axonometric projection
     is a special case of orthographic projection.
    3) Oblique Projection
     Projectors are parallel to each other and oblique to the picture plane.
    4) Perspective Projection
     Projectors or sightlines radiate from a central point that represents a single eye
    of the observer.

    Pictorial Drawing Systems


    We categorize these pictorial systems into Multiview drawings, Paraline drawings,
    and Perspective drawings.
    What Is An Orthographic Drawing?

     An orthographic drawing or orthographic projection is a representation of


    a three-dimensional-object using several two-dimensional planes.
     You can use an orthographic drawing to better see objects in 3D, or to plan
    a complex object or environment!
    The 6 Views of Orthographic Projection

     There are 6 views of orthographic projection, but mostly there are only used three
    of them.
     The 3 main views used in orthographic projection/drawing are the Front, Side, and
    Plan (Top) view.
     With only these 3 views, you can already have a very clear idea of how the object
    looks, and you can detail it quite well if you try to build a 3D version of it.

     Top View (Plan)


     Bottom View
     Back View
     Front View
     Right Side View
     Left Side View

    With these 6 different views, you can create a super detailed 3D object since all
    the angles are covered.

    The Front view


     The front view shows the most features or characteristics of the object.
     It usually contains the least amount of hidden lines.
     The front view is chosen first and the other views are based on the orientation of
    the front view.
    View alignment
     The top and front views are aligned vertically and share the same width
    dimension.
     The front and right side views are aligned horizontally and share the same
    height dimension.

    PROJECTION OF ORTHOGRAPHIC VIEW
    STEPS
    1. Choose a front view.
    This is the view that shows
    the most about the object.

    2. Decide how many


    views are needed to
    completely describe the
    object. If you are unable to
    determine which views will
    be needed, draw the
    standard views (front, top
    and right side).
    3. Draw the visible
    features of the front view.

    4. Draw projectors off of


    the front view horizontally
    and vertically in order to
    create the boundaries for the
    top and right side views.
    5. Draw the top view. Use
    the vertical projectors to fill in
    the visible and hidden features.

    6. Project from the top view


    back to the front view. Use the
    vertical projectors to fill in any
    missing visible or hidden
    features in the front view.
    7. Draw a 45° projector off of the
    upper right corner of the box that
    encloses the front view.

    8. From the top view,


    draw projectors over to the 45°
    line and down in order to
    create the boundaries of the
    right side view.
    9. Draw the right side
    view.

    10. Project back to the top


    and front view from the right
    side view as needed.
    11. Draw center lines
    where necessary.
