Projection

Representing a 3D object by extending its points with straight lines to a picture plane.

Picture Plane

An imaginary, transparent plane where the 3D object is represented; also known as the plane of projection.

Projectors

Straight lines extending from the object to the picture plane in a projection.

Orthographic Projection

A drawing system where projectors are perpendicular to the picture plane.

Study Notes

Drawing systems are classified by projection method and pictorial effect.
Projection represents a 3D object by extending its points with straight lines (projectors) to a picture plane.
The picture plane is an imaginary transparent plane, also known as the plane of projection.
Orthographic, oblique, and perspective projection are the three main types of projection systems.
The relationship of projectors to each other and their angle to the picture plane distinguishes each system.
Understanding these projection systems allows comprehension of various drawing types.
Projection drawing serves as a communication tool and enhances spatial thinking in 3D.
Constructing a projection involves navigating a 3D space to locate points and determine lines and planes.
Projection drawing incorporates Cartesian coordinates and descriptive geometry principles.
