What is
PROJECTION?
PROJECTION METHOD
Perspective Parallel
Oblique Orthographic
MEANING
Orthographic projection is a parallel projection
technique in which the parallel lines of sight are perpendicular
to the projection plane

ORTHOGRAPHIC VIEW
Orthographic view depends on relative position of the object to the line of
sight.
Rotate
Two dimensions of an
object is shown. Tilt
More than one view is needed
to represent the object.
Multi-view drawing
Three dimensions of an object is shown.
Axonometric drawing
OBJECT
Orthographic REPRESENTATION
projection technique can produce….
Axonometric projection ~ that shows all three
dimensions of an object in one view.
Multiview projection ~ that each view show an
object in two dimensions.
Both drawing types are used in technical

drawing for communication.

But there is a PROBLEM!!!
All edges foreshorten about 0.8 time.
We can not take measurements directly from the figure.

Isometric Drawing / View
Isometric drawing is a drawing drawn on an isometric
axes using full scale.

Positions of Isometric Axes
Before we start learning how to draw

isometric views / projections, there is
one more concern…
Positions of Isometric Axes
Isometric axes can be arbitrarily positioned to create
different views of a single object.

Circle & Arc in Isometric
In isometric drawing, a circle appears as an ellipse.
Sketching Steps
1. Locate the centre of an ellipse.
2. Construct an isometric square.

3. Sketch arcs that connect the
tangent points.
Circle & Arc in Isometric
Four-centre method is usually used when drawn an
isometric ellipse with drawing instrument.
Sketching Steps
1. Locate the centre of an ellipse.
2. Construct an isometric square.
3. Construct a perpendicular
bisector from each tangent point.
4. Locate the four centres.

5. Draw the arcs with these centres
and tangent to isometric square.

SOLIDS
1. Interpret the meaning of lines/areas in multi-
view drawing.
2. Locate the lines or surfaces relative to isometric

axis.

Isometric Views
for
simple machine components
1. Orient yourself with the views given.

(Choose the viewing direction.)
2. Read the individual surfaces that appeared in

each view and related to each other.
3. Create a proper solid geometric primitive from

each reading.
4. Assembly all of solid geometric primitive

according to orthographic views.
