Prepare orthographic projections.

Preparation should include

  • the glass box method (i.e., front, top, right-side, left-side, bottom, and rear views)
  • multiview drawings
  • differences between first-angle and third-angle projections
  • fillets, rounds, and runouts, and the projection of each
  • attention to positioning of views
  • attention to line precedence.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are the benefits of providing multiple views of an object?
  • What factors are considered when selecting views to be included in a multiview drawing?
  • How does the positioning of views contribute to the success of the drawing?
  • When might one use a first-angle projection? A third-angle projection?
