Orthographic Projections and Alphabet of Lines Fundamentals of Engineering Dr. Chuck Lockert GSMST
Objectives • Orthographic Projections • View Selection • Glass Box Approach • First and Third Angle Projections • Line Precedence • Two View Drawings • Tips
Orthographic Projections • Orthographic Projections are a collection of 2-D drawings that work together to give an accurate overall representation of an object.
Orthographic Views • You can adequately describe most objects with three orthographic views. • Front • Top • Right
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
Orthographic Projections - Describing and Angle Bracket Collection of 2D drawings Accurately represent an object Let us see how the angle bracket would be drawn. 8
Orthographic Projection Orthographic drawings represent three dimensional objects in three to six separate views arranged in a standard manner.
Glass Box concept • Envision the object surrounded in a glass box • Project the views out onto the pieces of glass • Each pane shows a 2D projection of the object
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
Third-angle Projection First-angle Projection First and Third Angle Projections • First Angle – International • Third Angle – U.S.
Orthographic Projection • Using the angle bracket previously introduced, an orthographic set of sketches can be produced as follows
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 • Views other than the Principal Views are called Auxiliary Views
Width Top View Depth Right Side View Front View Height Conventional Orthographic Views
A Box in Orthographic View Is This Orthographic View OK?
Graphical Communication • Oblique and isometric drawings are 3D and general • Orthographic drawings are 2D, more detailed, and often have dimensions for the part • Object, Hidden, Centerline, and Construction are 4 common types of lines used in engineering graphics
Line Types Object Line Hidden Line Center Line Dimension Line Construction Line
Dimensioning Standards • Standards are different in different career areas. • Civil, Electrical, Construction and other areas follow similar practices, but sometimes with less need for precision in measurements. • Dimensioned drawings are a part of a contractual document.
Dimension Lines • Various means to terminating ends • arrow head • dot • tick • Normally, dimensions are shown ABOVE dimension line • If a dimension is needed for construction, it should be on the drawing • Do not include unnecessary dimensions
Dimensioning Floor Plans • Frame Construction • dimensions usually start at the exterior surface of the stud wall • interior walls usually dimensioned to the center of partitions
Window and Door Openings • Frame Construction • Located by their center lines
Window and Door Openings • Masonry Construction • Openings are dimensioned to the edges of the masonry surface openings
Hidden Lines – represent features that cannot be seen in the current view • Centerlines – represent symmetry and mark the center of circles, the axes of cylinders, and the axes of symmetrical parts, such as bolts Hidden and Center Lines in Orthographic Projections • Object Lines – represent visible features for an object
For Example: 1. Visible 2. Hidden 3. Center
U.S. Customary Drawing Sizes • U.S. Paper Sizes A 8.5" X 11“ B 11" X 17“ C 17" X 22“ D 22" X 34“ E 34" X 44"

0.70 mm 0.35 mm 0.35 mm Precedence of Lines • Visible lines takes precedence over all other lines • Hidden lines and cutting plane lines take precedence over center lines • Center lines have lowest precedence
Gap Intersecting Lines in Orthographic Projections Solid Line Intersections Dashed Line Special Case Intersections
Two-View Drawings • Some objects can be fully described by two views, look for: • Symmetry or Bodies of Rotation Front View Right Side View Right Side Front View AU 2006
Summary • Introduced to orthographic projections • I recommend the software animation exercise introduced in class. Animation can be found on the website - Glass Box Theory.
Review Questions • There are ____ standard principal views of orthographic projections • Each view in an orthographic projection concentrates on ____ dimensions of the object
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 (We will discuss later) • 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 (We will discuss in more detail) • Follow the precedence of lines • Darken all visible, hidden, and center lines
