A drawing can also provide certain information on how an object is to be made. Various methods of presentation are available to the designer or drafter. However, the best way to show every feature of an object in its true size and shape is to use an arrangement of more than one view known as a multiview drawing. Multiview drawings are created using the principles of orthographic projection. Many drafting and print reading texts use the terms orthographic projection and multiview drawing interchangeably.
The projectors are perpendicular to the projection plane, thus resulting in an exact and very precise view. If more than one projection plane is used, the result is a multiview projection. In general terms, a multiview drawing is a drawing based on the principles of orthographic projection. The different views of a multiview drawing are systematically arranged. This allows anyone reading the drawing to connect the views together, thus forming a mental picture, Figure 5-1.
Projection Explained
A skilled technician reading a print must be able to visualize the object as a whole. This means they must be able to look at the views in a drawing and interpret those into a mental picture. Understanding how views are projected and arranged will help you later in the visualization process. One way to help you understand the multiview system is to observe how a cardboard box unfolds. Each side of the box is oriented similar to orthographic projection views. The sides are at right angles to each other and have a denite relationship. See Figure 5-2. If the front of the box remains in position, the four adjoining sides unfold similar to how the views of a multiview drawing are arranged. Now think of the cardboard box as made out of glass. Place an object inside of the glass box and imagine that the points of the object are projected onto the glass planes as views. See Figure 5-3. Imaginary projection lines are used to bring the separate views to each projection plane. If the glass box is unfolded like the cardboard box, six views are shown in an orthographic arrangement. Once you have perfected mentally projecting orthographic views using the glass box, you will be able to see orthographic views looking at any object, Figure 5-4.

Selection of Views
An orthographic projection can result in six normal views, as previously illustrated. Since there are three directions in space, an object can be viewed from the right or left, top or bottom, and front or back. However, only those views necessary to clearly describe the object need to appear in the
drawing. Seldom is an object so complex that all six normal views are required. Usually, the necessary details can be shown in two or three views. Three views will almost always fully describe an object, but more views can be used if there is a lot of detail on the opposite sides of an object. Directions other than the six normal directions are dened as auxiliary views, which are discussed in Unit 7.
Figure 5-3. If an object is placed inside of a glass box and projected onto each side, when the glass box is unfolded, six views are shown in an orthographic arrangement.

principal planes of projection will be established and only three regular views used. The front view will project onto a plane called the frontal plane, the top view will project onto a plane called the horizontal plane, and the right side view will project onto a plane called the prole plane. See Figure 5-5. With these three planes of projection in mind, here are some principles to help you read the print.

Principle One. A at surface is oriented perpendicular, parallel, or inclined to a plane of projection. See Figure 5-6. Principle Two. As a result of Principle One, all at surfaces appear in a multiview drawing as: A) a line, if oriented perpendicular. B) true size and shape, if oriented parallel. C) foreshortened, if oriented inclined. See Figure 5-7. Principle Three. All surfaces appear in every view of a multiview drawing, even if only as a line and even if represented by a hidden line.
Figure 5-4. Looking at a three-dimensional object, you must be able to see the orthographic views of the object.
In educational settings, the front, top, and right side views are typically used to describe an object. This type of drawing can be referred to as a three-view drawing. Yet, many objects made of at sheet metal require only one view, while cylindrical objects may only require two views. The following rules will help in the selection of views. Only views clearly describing the shape of the object should be drawn. Select views containing the fewest hidden lines. For reference, compare the two side views in Figure 5-3. If practical, draw the object in its functioning (operating) position. If practical, draw the view best describing the shape of the object as the front view.
Frontal Figure 5-5. Three basic projection planes are used to explain multiview drawings.
One of the keys to reading a multiview drawing is familiarity with the terminology used for the dimensions of an object. It is critical to discuss the scientic explanation of projections using standard terms. As you have probably noticed, each projected view is two dimensional, even though the object is three dimensional.
Visualization of Objects
Another necessary step on the road to successful print reading is understanding how views are created by projection. You will examine how at, or planar, surfaces are oriented in space and how they appear in a multiview drawing. At this stage, three
Profile
Dimensions of an Object
Throughout the eld of drafting, three terms predominantly used for the three dimensions of an object are height, width, and depth. The height and width of the object are shown in the front view, but not the depth. The width and depth of the object are shown in the top view, but not the height. The height and depth of an object are shown in a side view, but not the width. Height is dened as the top-to-bottom measurement for an object, as you look at the front view. Remember, the front of the object is not always selected as the front view! Width is dened as the left-to-right measurement of an object, as you look at the front view. Depth is dened as the front-to-back distance of the object, as based on the orientation of the object for the views. Standardizing the terms used for the measurements is critical to studying print reading and for completing the exercises in this unit.

Horizontal Frontal
A second type of at surface is the inclined surface. An inclined surface is perpendicular to one plane of projection, but inclined to the other two planes of projection. If inclined surfaces are examined with respect to the three principles: An inclined surface appears as a line in only one of the three regular views. An inclined surface appears as a foreshortened shape in two of the three regular views. Study Figure 5-8B. Surface C is perpendicular to the frontal plane, so it appears as a line in the front view. However, it is inclined to the horizontal and prole planes, so it appears as a foreshortened shape in those two views. Analyze surfaces A and B in the same way. In summary, the shape of an inclined surface appears twice in three regular views, but a normal surface shape only appears once! The normal surface is true size and shape, but the inclined surface is never true size and shape in a regular view. A third type of planar surface is the oblique surface. An oblique surface is not only inclined, but rotated. Therefore, it is inclined to all three planes of projection. It is not true shape and size in any view. In fact, it may appear a little distorted due to the projection angle it forms with the projection plane. It also does not appear as a line in any view. See Figure 5-9.

meanings a line in a multiview drawing can have, whether it is visible or hidden. As you learn how to read prints, keep these three meanings in mind.
Figure 5-11. This gure helps illustrate how cylindrical surfaces are projected in multiview drawings. Runout Figure 5-13. When rounded edges intersect curved surfaces, a runout is used to show how the edge tails out. Computer-generated views from a CAD model may show this differently.
Round
These rounded corners also create situations where the drafter has to decide whether or not to project the edge. Conventional practice calls for the lines to be shown if needed for clarity in describing the object. This is sometimes a judgment call. If the edge is shown, the line is projected as if the corner is sharp or square. When a rounded corner intersects a curved surface, the edge fades, or tails out. This is called a runout. Note, however, this is different than runout as dened in Unit 13, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. See Figure 5-13 for an example of how runouts may be drawn. This is another case wherein views automatically created from a 3D model by the CAD program may differ from views created by a CAD operator using twodimensional CAD lines and conventional practice.

Figure 5-15. The two types of projection are based on a theoretical division of space into four quadrants. Quadrants two and four are not used.
As presented earlier in the unit, in third-angle projection, the object resides in the third angle of space. So, the projection planes are considered to be between the viewer and the object. The views are projected toward the viewer onto the planes. See Figure 5-16. When quadrants two and four are collapsed, the top view appears above the front view. In contrast, in rst-angle projection, the object resides in the rst angle of space. So, the projection planes are on the opposite sides of the object as the viewer. In other words, the object is between the viewer and the projection planes. See Figure 5-17. The individual views are the same as those obtained in third-angle projection, but their arrangement on the drawing is different. In essence, the top view ends up below the front view and a right side view is on the left side of the front view. In summary, the individual views are the same for both angles of projection. The only difference between the two types is the arrangement of views on the drawing. The ASME and ISO standard symbols to indicate rst-angle and third-angle projection are shown in Figure 5-18. One of the two versions of the symbol should be included in the title block for drawings that are read within the international community.
