Primary projection First-angle plane ◆ Use orthographic projection to develop projection Primary view multiview drawings. Foreshortening Principal planes ◆ Identify and explain projection planes Frontal plane Principal views and how they relate to multiview Height Profi le plane drawings. Horizontal plane Third-angle ◆ Determine the views necessary to Mechanical drawing projection completely describe an object in a Multiview drawing True face multiview drawing. Negative mass Width Object feature ◆ Identify various types of features existing within objects. ◆ Identify and explain positive and negative mass as it relates to an object. ◆ Explain the difference between primary and secondary views of objects and features. ◆ Center a multiview drawing on the drawing sheet. 204 Exploring Drafting Chapter 9 Multiview Drawings 205 When a drawing is made with the aid of Top view Visualizing the Object and width, height, and depth) to be shown on a fl at instruments, it is called a mechanical drawing. surface having only two dimensions.

The profi le plane drawing is a drawing that requires more side, rear, and bottom views. See Figure 9-2. three-dimensional objects (objects having represents the projection for the side view of the object. In third-angle projection, the imaginary box containing the object rests in the third quadrant (the lower-right or third- angle quadrant when looking at the profi le plane). In this type of projection, the sides of Top view the object are projected to the sides of the box and toward the viewer. In fi rst-angle projec- tion, the imaginary box containing the object rests in the fi rst quadrant (the upper-left or fi rst-angle quadrant when looking at the profi le plane). In this type of projection, the sides of the object are projected to the sides of Rear view Left view Front view Right view the box and away from the viewer. A graphic explanation of third-angle pro- jection is shown in Figure 9-5. In this method, the object is viewed from points of view that are perpendicular to the projection planes (the surfaces of the glass box). The drafter looks Bottom view through the given projection plane and the surfaces, edges, and intersections that make Figure 9-2 The six basic directions of sight provide the principal views for developing a multiview drawing.
