1st Angle Projection

The document discusses first-angle projection for multi-view orthographic drawings. It explains that first-angle projection involves placing the object between the observer and projection plane, with views projected to the opposite side. The front, top, and right side views of an object suspended in a glass box are generated using first-angle projection. The multiple views can be shown unfolded in a single plane by unfolding the reference frame away from the observer.

FIRST-ANGLE PROJECTION

FIRST-ANGLE PROJECTION

Visualizing orthographic views using


pictorial views

Three-dimensional (pictorial) views of objects are


frequently easier to understand than multi-view
orthographic projections of the same object.

The Glass Box Concept

First-Angle Projection
In first-angle projection, the object is placed between
the observer and the projection plane.

= Line of Sight

An object has been


suspended in the glass
box. Top, front, and right
side views will be
generated using firstangle projection.

Front View

The yellow arrow indicates


the line of sight. The
image of the front view is
projected to the projection
plane behind the object.

The top (horizontal) view is projected from above the object but is
created on the plane below.

As with the previous two projections, the right side view is projected to the opposite
side of the glass box.

First-angle projection requires that


the box unfold away from the
observer rather than towards the
observer.
