ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
“When the projectors are parallel to each other and also perpendicular to
the plane, the projection is called orthographic projection”
Objective
An orthographic drawing represents a three-dimensional object using several two-
dimensional views of the object. Three-dimensional drawings can be used to show the
overall concept and design, but they are often not able to explain actual shape, size and
other details of object which are required for the purpose of manufacturing . Orthographic
drawings can help to overcome those challenges.
Three Reference Planes:-
VP- Vertical Plane
HP- Horizontal Plane
PP- Profile Plane
Orthographic Views
Front View- FV
Top View- TV
Left Hand Side View-LHSV
Right Hand Side View- RHSV
Bottom View- BV
Rear View- RV
Note:- As per BIS (SP: 2003), the FV, TV, LHSV, RSHV, BV and RV should be referred as the view from the front,
the view from above, the view from left, the view from right, the view from below and the view from rear
respectively.
Methods of Multiview Projection
First Angle of Projection
Third Angle of Projection
Methods of Multiview Projection
The method of first-angle projection is the British standard practice. The third-angle
projection is the standard practice followed in America and in the continent of Europe.
In our country, the first-angle projection method is used as per revised SP:46-1988
and SP:46-2003 which is recommended by Bureau of Indian Standards (B.I.S.)

SECTION LINING
COMMON MISTAKE
SECTION LINING PRACTICE
It should not be drawn parallel or perpendicular
to contour of the view.
COMMON MISTAKE
TREATMENT OF HIDDEN LINES
Hidden lines are normally omitted from section
views.
Types of Sectioning
1. Full section
2. Half section
3. Offset section
FULL SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the straight cutting
plane completely through the part.
HALF SECTION VIEW
A half-section is a view of an object showing
one-half of the view in section.
Symmetrical parts can be shown in half sections.
