UNIT 3 - 3 VIEW DRAWING & DIMENSIONING
As you learned in Unit 2, it is rarely possible to draw 1 view of a multiple sided object and show all the information needed to build or manufacture the object or part. Depending on the complexity of what you have designed or are drawing, it may take many views to convey the information for the entire object.
Normally, the minimum amount of views needed when drawing plans, are 4, a Top View, Side View, End View and Section View. Often, an isometric or 3d view is also included to better illustrate what the 'realistic' object looks like when built.
In this Unit, you will be drawing multiple views of objects using orthographic projection, which is a method to draw multiple views in such a way where they are layed out and drawn in alignment with each other. In some softwares, it can be done simply by isolating 1 side of a 3d model and rotating it and/or switching to 2d view mode for the other side views.
Once the object is drawn correctly and all views aligned, dimensions with the appropriate tolerances are added along with notes & drawing titles.
You will be using different line types when drawing multiple views of objects. The basic line types are shown below and each have a specific meaning along with variations.
ASSIGNMENT 1 - 3 View Hand Drawing
Using the isometric view as a reference, sketch the missing lines, including hidden lines, in the other 3 views. Use grid paper to draw the views arranged as shown.
