Orthographic Projection
Orthographic Projection
is the process of showing the true size and
shape of an object in two or more views by
extending perpendiculars from the object to the
plane.

The term Orthographic is derived from 2 Greek


words:
Orthos - means to write.
Graphos - means to draw.
Projection Plane or Plane of Projection
A projection plane, or plane of projection, is
a type of view in which graphical projections from
an object intersect.

Projection planes are used often in


descriptive geometry and graphical representation.

A picture plane in perspective drawing is a


type of projection plane.
Projection Plane or Plane of Projection
3 Planes of Projection
1) Horizontal Plane- projected from the top view &
will show the top view of object.

2) Frontal Plane- projected from the front view & will


show the front view of object.

3) Profile Plane- projected from the side view (either


side) & will show the side view of object.
3 Planes of Projection
3 Principal Views:

1) Top View

2) Front View

3) Right Side View


6 Principal Views:
1) Top View

2) Front View

3) Right Side View

4) Left Side View

5) Rear View

6) Bottom View
6 PRINCIPAL VIEWS
Principles of Orthographic Projection:
1) The Top View is directly above the Front View.

2) The Side Views are in line horizontally with the Front View.

3) The depth or width of the Top View is equal to the depth or width of the
Side Views.

4) A line parallel to the plane of projection will be projected as a line or in


its true length.

5) A line perpendicular to the plane of projection will be projected as a


point.

6) A line inclined to the plane of projection will be projected shorter than its
true length.
Principles of Orthographic Projection:
7) A surface parallel to the plane of projection will be projected in its true size
and shape.

8) A surface perpendicular to the plane of projection will be projected as a line.

9) A surface inclined to the plane of projection will be projected as a fore-


shortened surface or shorter than its true area.

10) No line can be projected on the picture plane longer than its true length.

11) No surface can be projected on the picture plane greater than its true
