Sketch the layout if you need to draw 3 views orthographic projection : front, top, and right side views of the following pictorial figures. Scale 2 : 1.
View selection procedures1. Orient the object to the best position relative to a glass box. 2. Select the front view.3. Select adjacent views.
Suggestions : Orient the object1. The object should be placed in its natural position.NO !2. The orthographic views should represent the true size and true shape of an object (as much as possible).GOOD
Suggestions : Select the front view1. The longest dimension of an object should be presented as a width (in a front view).InappropriateFirst choiceGoodSecond choiceUse more space
Inappropriate2. The adjacent views project from the selected front view should be appeared in a natural position.Suggestions : Select the front view
3. It has the fewest number of hidden lines.GoodInappropriateSuggestions : Select the front view
Suggestions : Select an adjacent viewInappropriateInappropriate1. Choose the view that has the fewest number of hidden lines.
2. Choose the minimum number of views that can represent the major features of the object.NecessaryNecessaryHoles information is placed on a separated view.Suggestions : Select an adjacent viewAll information is placedon a single view.
3. Choose the views that are suitable to a drawing sheet.GoodSuggestions : Select an adjacent viewPoorNot enough spacefor dimensioning.GoodChoose another adjacent view.Change orientation of theselected views.
SummaryView selection has 3 stepsIn practice, drafter should consider all recommendationssimultaneously before start to draw.Orientthe objectSelectfront viewSelectadjacent view
