Mechanical drawing is describing the shapes of objects completely and exactly using orthographic views.
Although there are six principal views that can be drawn in an object, only the three regular views are
normally required in the preparation of a work plan.
The third-angle projection is a system used in the United States which places the object in the third
quadrants.
The third-angle projection places the object in the third quadrant. (An observer here would be
facing the frontal plane).
• Observe that the object is placed below the horizontal plane.
• The top view of the object projects up to it, therefore, the top view is in the horizontal plane.
• The object is behind the frontal plane. The front view of the object projects
• forward to it, therefore, the view is on the frontal plane.
• The side of the object projects to the profile plane, therefore, the side view
• will be seen in the profile plane.
UNFOLDED PLANES
If the planes are unfolded and laid flat, the top view would be above the front view.
1. Cavalier drawing – An oblique drawing in which the depth axis lines are full scale or in full size.
The receding lines are true depth – that is makes an angle of 45 degrees and 30 degrees with
the plane of projection.
2. Cabinet oblique – Depth axis lines are drawn one-half scale. When the receding line is drawn
to half – size, and the projectors make an angle of 30, 45, 60 degrees respectively.
3. General oblique – Depth axis lines vary from one-half to full size. Drawn at any convenient
angle and the receding lines are drawn to full size, one third size, one-half size, or one fourth
size.
4. Erase the unnecessary lines to complete the drawing.
2. 2-pt. or Angular perspective – a perspective drawing using having two vanishing points.
