The document discusses orthographic projection, which is a method of projection where the projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the projection plane. There are three main views produced in orthographic projection: the front view, top view, and side view. Points in an object are projected onto the reference planes (vertical, horizontal, or profile planes) to form the views. The location of a point relative to the reference planes is specified by its coordinates in the different views.

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
Principle of projections
* If the rays of light made to fall on the wall across the object, shadow / image
of that object will appear on that wall. That means, object is being projected on
the wall.
* If straight lines are drawn from various points on the contour of an object to
meet a plane, the object is said to be projected on that plane.
* The image we are getting on that plane is called projection (view) of the object.
* The lines from the object to the plane are called projectors.

Definition of Orthographic projection
When the projectors are parallel to each other and also perpendicular to the
plane, the projection is called orthographic projection.
Three types of views ……..
1. Front View (FV)
2. Top View (TV)
3. Side View (SV)
Reference plane
1. Vertical plane (VP)
2. Horizontal plane (HP)
3. Profile plane (PP)

6. Points to keep in mind ………
Projection of a point on a Vertical Plane (VP) is called Front view (FV)
Projection of a point on a Horizontal Plane (VP) is called Top View (FV)
Distance of a point with respect to HP is specified by the FV
Distance of a point with respect to VP is specified by the TV

Front view of point ‘A’ is represented by ‘a’’
Top view of point ‘A’ is represented by ‘a’
I angle – FV is obtained above the x-y line and TV below x-y line
II angle – FV and TV both are obtained above x-y line
III angle – FV is obtained below the x-y line and TV above x-y line
IV angle – FV and TV both are obtained below x-y line

30 mm below HP and 20 mm in front of VP a’ = 30 a = 20
40 mm above HP and 20 mm behind VP a’ = 40 a = 20
30 mm above HP and 40 mm in front of VP a’ = 30 a = 40
15 mm below HP and 25 mm behind VP a’ = 15 a = 25
Lies on HP and 20 mm behind VP a’ = 0 a = 20
Lies on VP and 10 mm below HP a’ = 10 a = 0
