Unit_Lamp_Orthographic Projection Drawings

December 1, 2014 By Ms. Bruno

In order to build our lamp we need to create a set of working drawings.

The drawings will be orthographic projections. Orthographic projections are a collection of 2-d drawings that together give an accurate overall representation of a 3-d object. You will have to create up to 6 views: top view, 2 side views,  front view, rear view, and bottom view. The drawings will be created in 0.5″=1″ scale.

AIM: How to determine what the front (most descriptive) view of your object is?

Aim: What do you need to consider when arranging your views on your piece of paper?
