Orthographic Projections
• Orthographic Projections are a collection of 2-D drawings that work together to give an accurate overall representation of an object.

Which Views to Present?
General Guidelines
• Pick a Front View that is most descriptive of object
• Normally the longest dimension is chosen as the width (or depth)
• Most common combination of views is to use:
– Front, Top, and Side View
• Any other view different from the Principal Views is called an Auxiliary View (see Technical Graphics text)

Glass Box Approach
• Most powerful technique to understand orthographic projections
• Suspend the object with transparent strings inside a glass box
• Freeze the view from each direction (each of the six sides of the box) and unfold the box
• Animation illustrates glass-box approach

Hidden and Center Lines
• Hidden Line – used to represent features that cannot be seen in the current view
• Centerlines – used to represent symmetry and to mark the center of circles and the axes of cylinders, and the axes of symmetrical parts, such as cylinders and bolts

• Visible lines takes precedence over all other lines
• Hidden lines and cutting plane lines take precedence over center lines
• Center lines have lowest precedence

• Some objects can be fully described by two views, look for:
– Symmetry or Bodies of Rotation
Front View Right Side View

Hints for Orthographic Projection Sketching
• Identify the major features and overall dimensions of the object
• Do not use any straight-edge devices as a pencil guide when sketching by hand
• Start by drawing bounding boxes with light construction lines.
• Keep views aligned while sketching

Hints for Orthographic Projection Sketching
• Title Information is required – follow conventions
• Usage of construction lines is encouraged.
– Mandatory for circle or ellipse
• Orthographic projection:
– Alignment of the views is important!
– Will not be graded, if not aligned

Hints for Orthographic Projection Sketching
• Map inclined and oblique faces to all three views
• Follow the precedence of lines
• Darken all visible, hidden, and center lines

Sketching a Circle
• Draw a square whose sides are the diameter of the circle.
• At the center of each side define the point of tangency for the circle.
• Draw the diagonals of the square.
• Orient the paper so you can draw equal arcs to construct the circle
