Multiview Projection• Orthographic projection consisting of
systematically arranged views to describe anobject

Definition Summary• Orthographic projection, multiview projection, and
multiview drawing are interchangeable terms• Represents the main type of drawing views used
in industrial prints

Dimensions of an Object• Height is how tall the object is, as measured on
the front view• Width is how wide the object is, as measured on
the front view• Depth is how deep the object is from front to back• Each dimension appears twice in the three regular
views• “Length” and “breadth” are terms not used

Meanings of a Multiview Line• A—Edge view of a flat
or curved surface• B—Intersection of two
surfaces (just an edge)• C—Maximum contour
of a curved surface

• A—Edge view of a flator curved surface
• B—Intersection of twosurfaces (just an edge)
• C—Maximum contourof a curved surface
First-Angle and Third-AngleProjection
• Dividing space into quadrants– Historical development of projection theory used two
planes to divide space– After projections, the two planes are revolved into one,
with quadrants two and four “collapsed”

• Briefly describe the three visualization principlesfor multiview drawings.
Principle One: A flat surface is orientedperpendicular, parallel, or inclined to a plane ofprojection.
Principle Two: All flat surfaces appear as eithera line, true size and shape, or foreshortened.
Principle Three: All surfaces appear in everyview.

• Briefly explain the characteristics of cylindricalsurfaces in multiview drawings.
Cylindrical surfaces are made up of thousandsof elements. If a flat surface is tangent to thecylindrical surface, no line appears at theelement of tangency.

• Explain characteristics of fillets, rounds, andrunouts.
Fillets are interior rounded edges. Rounds areexterior rounded edges. A line may be shownin projection for fillets and rounds if neededfor clarity. Runouts occur when a roundedcorner intersects a curved surface and theedge “tails” out. Runouts are usuallyrepresented in projection.

• What is the difference between third-angle andfirst-angle projection?
In third-angle projection, the object resides inthe third angle of space, resulting in the topview being located above the front view. Infirst-angle projection, the object resides in thefirst angle of space, resulting in the top viewbeing located below the front view.
