Multi-View Sketching Projection Aerospace Practicum Spring 2007 Projections Two main types of projections: parallel perspective. Every drawing/projection involves the spatial relationship of the these four elements: Station Point or Observer’s Eye Object Plane of Projection Projectors or Visual Rays or Lines of Sight Perspective Projections Parallel Projections Classification of Projections Object Views To provide a clear and complete description of the shape and size of an object a number of views, systematically arranged, are used. This system of object representation is called multi-view projection. Multi-view projection is necessary since all objects are 3-D and all drawings are 2-D. One 2-D drawing is insufficient to clearly and completely define an object. Object Views The Front View is an orthographic parallel projection. Object Views There are six orthogonal directions from which a part may be viewed. Object Views The observer can move around the part to “see” the six views. Object Views Object Views: The Glass Box The Six Standard Views The standard arrangement of the views is critical to clearly describing the object: Top, front, and bottom views align vertically Rear, left, front, and right views align horizontally Transferring Dimensions The height, width, and depth of the object must correspond point-for-point. Transferring Dimensions The height, width, and depth of the object must correspond point-for-point. Transferring Dimensions The transfer of dimensions can be used to project a 3rd view. Transferring Dimensions The transfer of dimensions can be used to project a 3rd view. Transferring Dimensions The transfer of dimensions can be used to project a 3rd view. Necessary Views A sketch or drawing should only contain the views needed to clearly and completely describe the object. The Three Regular (Primary) Views are the top, front, and right-side views. Use these regular views first to define the object. Choosing the
