Multiview drawings
- Three-dimensional paraline views are very useful in conveying the overall impression of an object. But as we saw when we created the isometric drawing, there is distortion applies to the angles in one or more surfaces of the element. To solve this, we can create a series of two-dimensional views called orthographic projections that are separate projections of each individual surface. In simplest terms, orthographic projection is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions by projecting its features onto a flat, 2D plane. The advantage of the 2D views is it focuses on just one side or view of an element and all of the dimensions are accurate. But unlike isometric drawings, all of the angles are distortion-free as well. So let's go ahead and create three orthographic views of our small block that we were working on in the isometric video. And this time, I'm going to work in AutoCAD. Now, you're welcome to do this by hand as well. The process would be very…
