ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS - Principle.
'ORTHO' means right angle and orthographic means right angled drawing.
When the projectors are perpendicular to the plane on which the projection
is obtained, it is known as orthographic projection.
It is a parallel projection technique in which different views of an object are
projected on different reference planes observing perpendicular to respective
reference plane.

Projections of Plane Surfaces
PROJECTIONS OF PLANE SURFACES
In Syllabus:
Projection of planes (polygonal and circular surfaces) inclined to

both the principal planes by rotating object method.

Projections of Planes
A plane is a two dimensional object having length and breadth only.
Thickness is negligible.
Types of Planes
1. Perpendicular plane which have their surface perpendicular to
any one of the reference planes and parallel or inclined to the
other reference plane.
2. Oblique plane which have their surface inclined to both the

reference planes.
Positions of a plane
Perpendicular planes
Surface of the plane kept perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP
Surface of the plane kept perpendicular to VP and parallel to HP
Surface of the plane kept perpendicular to both HP and VP
Surface of the plane kept inclined to HP and perpendicular to VP
Surface of the plane kept inclined to VP and perpendicular to HP
Oblique plane
Surface of the plane kept inclined to both HP & VP

Traces of planes
A plane, extended if necessary, will meet the reference planes in lines unless it
is parallel to any one of them. These lines are called traces of planes.
The line in which the plane meets the H.P is called the horizontal trace or H.T
of the plane.
The line in which the plane meets the V.P is called the vertical trace or V.T of
the plane.

Points to remember :
When a plane surface is parallel to HP, top view shows its true shape &
size. Therefore, draw the top view first. Project the front view from it.
When a plane surface is parallel to VP, front view shows its true shape
& size. Therefore, draw the front view first. Project the top view from
it.

Projections of Solids (Axis perpendicular to one Plane)

Basic building blocks

Components have different shapes.
Any component will be formed of a single solid or combination of solids
of different shapes.
The most common geometrical solids are prisms, cylinders, cones,
spheres, pyramids.
Thus, drawing of components like machine parts require a thorough
knowledge of projections basic solids.
Projection of Solids
A solid has three dimensions- length, breadth and thickness.

At least two orthographic views are necessary to represent a solid.
Sometimes, additional views projected on auxiliary planes become
necessary to make the complete description of a solid.

Types of Solids
1. Polyhedra
2. Solids of Revolution
Polyhedra:
A polyhedron is defined as a solid bounded by planes called faces.
When all the faces are equal and regular, the polyhedron is said to be regular.
Seven regular polyhedra :
Tetrahedron
Cube or hexahedron
Octahedron
Dodecahedron
Icosahedron
Prism
Pyramid

equilateral triangle.
Octahedron
It has eight equal equilateral triangles as faces.

Dodecahedron :
It has twelve equal and regular pentagons as faces.
Icosahedron :
It has twenty faces, all equal equilateral triangles.

Prism
This is a polyhedron having two equal and similar faces called its ends or
bases, parallel to each other and joined by other faces which are
parallelograms.
The imaginary line joining the centres of the bases is called the axis.
A right and regular prism has its axis perpendicular to the bases.
All its faces are equal rectangles.

Pyramid:
This is a polyhedron having a plane figure as a base and a number of
triangular faces meeting at a point called the vertex or apex.
The imaginary line joining the apex with the centre of the base is its axis.
A right and regular pyramid has its axis perpendicular to the base which is a
regular plane figure.
Its faces are all equal isosceles triangles.

Solids of revolution:
Cylinder
Cone
Sphere
Cylinder :
A right circular cylinder is a solid generated by the revolution of a rectangle
about one of its sides which remains fixed.
It has two equal circular bases.
The line joining the centres of the bases is the axis. It is perpendicular to the
bases.

Cylinder :
Cone :
A right circular cone is a solid generated by the revolution of a right-angled
triangle about one of its perpendicular sides which is fixed.
It has one circular base.
Its axis joins the apex with the centre of the base to which it is perpendicular.
Straight lines drawn from the apex to the circumference of the base-circle are
all equal and are called generators of the cone.
The length of the generator is the slant height of the cone.
***Oblique cylinders and cones have their axes inclined to their bases.

Cone :
Sphere :
A sphere is a solid generated by the revolution of a semi-circle about its
diameter as the axis.
The mid-point of the diameter is the centre of the sphere.
All points on the surface of the sphere are equidistant from its centre.

Frustum
When a pyramid or a cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base, Thus
removing the top portion, the remaining portion is called its frustum
Truncated Solids
When a solid is cut by a plane inclined to the base it is said to be truncated.
***In our syllabus, mostly right and regular solids are prescribed. Hence, when
a solid is named without any qualification, it should be understood as being
right and regular.

Projections of Solids - Positions

A solid position may be defined by its axis position. Hence,
1. Solid axis perpendicular to the HP and parallel to VP. TUTORIAL VI
2. Solid axis perpendicular to the VP and parallel to HP.
3. Solid axis parallel to both the HP and the VP.
TUTORIAL VII
4. Solid axis inclined to the VP and parallel to the HP.
5. Solid axis inclined to the HP and parallel to the VP.
6. Solid axis inclined to both HP and VP. Not in
syllabus
Steps
1. Start the projection that shows the true shape and size of the base.
2. Identify the axis which is perpendicular to the any one reference plane.
3. On that reference plane draw the true shape.
4. When the axis is parallel to both the reference planes, the true shape of the
base can be seen from its side view where an auxiliary plane perpendicular
to both the reference planes can be used.
5. When the axis is inclined to any one reference plane, assume the axis is
perpendicular to that plane and draw the initial step, then proceed to
inclined position.

PROJECTIONS OF SOLIDS WITH AXES INCLINED TO ONE OF

THE REFERENCE PLANES AND PARALLEL TO THE OTHER
In this case, the projections are drawn in two stages.
Stage I : In the initial stage, the solid is assumed to be in simple position
Stage II : Final projections may be obtained by one of the following two

methods:
(i) Change of position method: The position of one of the views is altered as
required and the other view projected from it.
(ii) Change of reference line (auxiliary plane) method : A new reference

line is drawn according to the required conditions, to represent an auxiliary
plane and the final view projected on it.

The object cut Section technique
Sectioning is a technique by which the object is sliced and the cutaway view of the part is then drawn.
To show the construction clearly in many hollow objects, the front part is imagined to be removed to
reveal the interior surface.
Where and when this occurs the edges are represented with solid lines and the cut surface is
crosshatched or section lined.
The interior detail is now shown more clearly because the hidden lines have been replaced with visible
object lines.

Pictorial Projections
(i) Axonometric projection.
A. Isometric projection.
B. Dimetric projection.
C. Trimetric projection.
(ii) Oblique projection
(iii) Perspective projection
Isometric Projection
It is a method of producing pictorial view of an object showing all

three faces of the object simultaneously on a single reference plane.
It is a type of parallel projection
The angles between any two of the three coordinate axes is 120

Observer at infinity
Projectors parallel to each

other and perpendicular to
projection plane
Object is inclined with respect

to projection plane
Isometric Terminology
The three coordinate axes are called isometric axes
Any line parallel to isometric axes is called isometric line
A non-isometric line is a line not parallel to any one of the three

isometric axis
In isometric projection of cube, the faces of the cube and any plane
parallel to them is called isometric planes

Principle of isometric projection
Isometric Scale Isometric Length= 0.82 x True length

Difference Between Isometric view and Isometric Projection
