ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS
Orthographic projection is a method of representing the
exact shape of the object by dropping two or more
perpendicular to a plane generally at right angle.

As basic requirement in performing drawing activities, the


students must have the basic knowledge on alphabet of lines.

What are the different type of alphabet lines?


Two Methods of Shape Representation
A. Orthographic Views
B. Pictorial Views

Orthographic view-is a representation of two or more separate


views. This can be represented into six principal views and regular
views
The Three Regular Views
Orthographic views can be represented by two or more separate views;
however, it is advisable to illustrate three views to show clear and detail
presentation of at least three principal views of the object. The
following are:
1. Top View
2. Front View
3. Side View
Top view
The Six Principal Views
1. Top View. It is drawn above the front.
2. Front View. It is drawn vertically aligned and below the top view
3. Right Side View. This located at the right side and aligned with the
front view.
4. Left Side View. The opposite of the right side view. It is located at the
left side and aligned with the front view.
5. Rear View. The opposite view of the front view. It is located aligned
after either at the right-side view or left side view.
6. Bottom View. The opposite view of the top view. This must be drawn
vertically aligned and below the front view.
Plan View or Top View
This can be little more difficult to visualize because you have to
imagine yourself moving over the top of the object and looking
vertically downward. The lefthand and right-hand illustration on the
next page show how the plan is placed above the front. Again, sketch
the light vertical construction lines to locate the plan in its proper
position. Draw these upward from each corner of the front view and
line-in the plan of the right
Front View
Concentrate on the front view. If you look at it correctly the effect will
be seen below at the left, while the below right illustration shows what
you will see. Notice that in the left-hand drawing, you can only see the
dark-inked front “face” of the object. Notice also that you cannot see
any of the other sides of the object. This is because all those sides are
“going away” from you in your line of sight and are simply not visible
from your viewpoint. They are still there, of course, but are hidden
behind the outer edges of the first face.
Right-Side View
Right-side view should be drawn at the right side of front view. Imagine
moving around the object to look directly at its right side. How you see
it is shown below-left and what you see is shown below-right. Again the
faces you actually see are heavily outlined.
The ten principles to be considered in
constructing orthographic drawing/projection are:
1. Top view is directly above the front view.
2. Side views are horizontally aligned with the front view and rear
view.
3. The width of the top view is equal to the width of the side view.
4. When a line or edge is viewed perpendicularly to a plane or surface,
projection will appear as a point.
5. A line or edge parallel to a plane of projection will also appear as a
line or edge in its exact shape or true length.
The ten principles to be considered in
constructing orthographic drawing/projection are:
6. A line or edge inclined to the plane of projection will appear shorter or
foreshortened.
7. A surface perpendicular to the plane will appear as a line or edge equal in
length to the nearest edge of the surface which in this case is either its
length or its width depending on its position.
8. A surface parallel to the plane of projection will be shown in its exact or
true shape and size.
9. A surface inclined to the plane of projection will also appear as a surface
but smaller in size and shape.
10. No line or edge of the object can be projected longer than its true length.
