Understand and differentiate orthographic projection from other projection methods. 2. Identify and interpret standard views, including front, top, and side views. 3. Create and accurately represent objects using orthographic projections. 4. Use drawing tools and materials effectively for precise drawings. Theories and Principles of Orthographic Projection Multi-view drawing is a drawing that shows more than one view of an object. Orthographic projection is a system for graphical representation of an object by a line drawing on a flat surface. Orthographic Projection An orthographic projection is a representation of separate views of an object on a two-dimensional surface. It reveals the width, depth and height of the object. Ortho means “straight or at right angle” and graphic means “written or drawn”. Projection comes from two Latin words: “pro,” meaning “forward,” and “jacere,”meaning “to throw.” The projection is achieved by viewing the object from a point assumed to be at infinity(an indefinitely great distance away). The line of sight or projectors are parallel to each otherand perpendicular to the plane of projection.

Capao Revision # Steps in Selecting Correct Views of an Object 1. Select the number of views necessary to represent the object. This may require only one view or as many as all six views. Only draw as many views as are necessary. 2. Select the front view which: a. Best describes contour shape. b. Contains the least number of hidden lines. c. Is usually the longest view. d. Shows object in normal position.

Capao Revision #  An orthographic view is made by projecting the edge of the object perpendicular to a plane of projection. Figure 2.1-7 Plane of projection Plane of Projection Three planes of projection are used in orthographic drawing. These are called the horizontal plane, frontal (vertical) plane, and the profile plane. Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 12 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # You can use parallel projection technique to create both multiview and pictorial (isometric and oblique) views. 1. In multiview orthographic projection (see details below), the object surface and the projection plane are parallel, and you can see only two dimensions. 2. In isometric view (orthographic) the surface is no longer parallel to the projection plane, but the latter is perpendicular to the lines of sight, with three dimensions being seen. 3. In oblique projection (non-orthographic) the object surface and the projection plane are also parallel, but the lines of sights are not perpendicular to the projection plane, and you can see again three dimensions.

Capao Revision # Kinds of Dimensions Over-all dimension – every object, regardless of its shape, has three over- all dimensions. An over-all dimension indicates the over-all width, height and depth of an object. Detail dimensions provide size or location information concerning any feature or details of an object other than its over-all dimension. Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 38 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # Elements of Dimensions Several elements define a dimension in technical or engineering drawings. 1. Dimension — the numerical value that defines the size, shape, location, surface texture, or geometric characteristic of a feature. 2. Basic dimension — a numerical value defining the theoretically exact size, location, or orientation relative to a coordinate system. Basic dimensions are enclosed in a rectangular box & have no tolerance. 3. Reference dimension — a numerical value enclosed in parentheses, provided for information only. 4. Dimension line — a thin, solid line that shows the extent and direction of a dimension. 5. Arrows — symbols at the ends of dimension lines showing the limits of the dimension, leaders, and cutting plane lines. 6. Extension line — a thin, solid line perpendicular to a dimension line, indicating which feature is associated with the dimension. 7. Visible gap — there should be a visible gap of 1 mm between the feature's corners and the end of the extension line. 8. Leader line — a thin, solid line with arrow drawn under an angle & indicating the feature with which a dimension or note is associated. Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 39 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # 9. Limits of size — the largest acceptable size and the minimum acceptable size of a feature. 10. Plus and minus dimension — the allowable positive and negative variance from the specified dimension. 11. Diameter symbol — a symbol indicating that the dimension shows the diameter of a circle. The symbol used is the Greek letter phi Ø. 12. Radius symbol — a symbol indicating that the dimension shows the radius of a circle. The radius symbol used is the capital letter R. 13. Tolerance — the amount that a particular dimension may vary. Types of Dimensions in Technical Drawing 1. Linear dimension Linear dimension is a type of dimension that can be expressed as any of the following two distances: (A) Horizontal: this distance or measurement is made from left to right (or vice versa) relative to the drawing plane (paper or computer), as shown by the width (the horizontal dimension) in the figure below. Horizontal and vertical distances can be expressed in standard units of linear measurement—mainly in meters, centimeters, millimeters, inches, and feet. (B) Vertical: this distance or measurement is made from up to down (or vice versa) relative to the drawing plane (paper or computer), as shown by depth or height (the vertical dimension) in the figure below. Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 40 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # 2. Angular dimension Angular dimension is a type of dimension that is indicated either in only degrees or a combination of degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″) which are the units of angular dimension. In any situation(s) where only minutes and seconds are specified, a zero (0) is placed before the number of minutes or seconds, as shown on the last diagram in the figure below—examples of angular units used in angular dimensioning. 3. Diametral dimension Diametral dimension is a type of dimension that expresses the magnitude of the diameter or straight line connecting the centre of a circle with two points on its perimeter. Diametral dimension is used on mostly full circles or arcs whose magnitude is more than half of a full circle. The symbol for diameter is the Greek letter phi Ø. 4. Radial dimension Radial dimension is a type of dimension that expresses the magnitude of the radius or distance between the center of a circle or arc (that is less than half of a circle) and any point on a circle’s or arc’s perimeter. The symbol for radius is the capital letter R as shown in the figure above. 5. Ordinate (or coordinate) dimension Ordinate dimension is the type of dimension that is indicated via rectangular coordinates or rectangular coordinate dimensioning in which a datum line or baseline is established for each Cartesian coordinate and Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 41 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision #  every other dimension is positioned with respect to the datum line or baseline. 6. Reference dimension Reference dimension is the type of dimension that provides extra information that is not essential for fabricating or creating a part or feature. Reference dimension is usually enclosed in parentheses [such as (2.00) as shown in the figure below] on drawings, only providing certain information which cannot be used to fabricate a feature or part. Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 42 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # 7. Note dimension or Notes Notes are the type of technical drawing dimension described by written specifications or words, more detailed than numerical values and clearly point out specific information and sizes of a feature or features. There are two types of notes: (A) Specific (or local) note: this is the type of dimension that provides information applicable or relevant to specific features and not the whole drawing. Local notes are linked to specific features on drawing views. Three examples of specific notes include: (B) General note: this provides information that is applicable to or relevant to the whole drawing. General notes are linked to all drawing views of a drawing. Three examples of general notes include: (a) FINISH ALL OVER (FAO) (b) ALL DRAFT ANGLES 3° UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED (c) DIMENSIONS APPLY AFTER PLATING Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 43 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # Rules in Dimensioning For a beginner like you, remember these dimensioning rules when placing measurements in your drawing. 1. Each dimension should be given clearly, so that it can be interpreted in only one way. 2. Avoid repetition of dimensions. Dimensions should not be duplicated, or the same information given in two different ways, and no dimensions should be given except those needed toproduce or inspect the part. 3. Use outside dimension if the space is limited and use an inside dimension if there is enough space. 4. The longer dimensions should be placed outside all intermediate or shorter dimensions, so that dimension lines will not cross extension lines. 5. Continuous dimensions should be used whenever possible. 6. Staggered dimensioning should be used when the space for dimensioning is limited. 7. Dimension lines should be spaced uniformly throughout the drawing. 8. When dimensioning a circle, it should be from center to center. 9. Dimension lines should never cross other dimension lines. Dimension lines should not cross extension lines. Dimension lines should be appropriately spaced apart from each other and the view. 10. Dimension figures should be approximately centered between the arrowheads, except that in a “stack” of dimensions, the figures should be “staggered”. 11. Extension lines must have about 10 mm from the object edge and an approximate 2 millimeters after the dimension lines. 12. Extension lines should not touch object lines. 13. Extension line should always leave a visible gap (≈ 1 𝑚𝑚) from a view or center lines before start drawing a line. Extend the lines beyond the (last) dimension line 2-3 mm. Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 44 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # 14. Extension lines should not cross dimension lines, and they should avoid crossing other extension lines whenever possible. When extension lines cross object lines or other extension lines, they should not be broken. When extension lines cross or are close to arrowheads, they should be broken for the arrowhead. 15. Dimension figures (number) should be lettered with 2H or HB pencil. The height of the figures is suggested to be 2.5-3 mm. Place the figures at about 1 mm above and at the middle of a dimension line. Dimensions figures are entered in millimeters without a neccessity to specify a unit symbol. Angular dimension is expressed in degree with a symbol “ º ” places behind the figure (and if necessary, minutes and seconds may be used together). Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 45 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision #  If there is not enough space for figure or arrows, put it outside either of the extension lines. 16. Notes should always be lettered horizontally on the drawing. 17. Notes should be brief and clear, and the wording should be standard in form. 18. Local notes should be lettered with 2H or HB pencil, lettered horizontally, and with a height of 2.5-3 mm. Must be used in a combination with a leader line. Place near to the feature which they apply but should be placed outside the view. Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 46 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision #  Placed above the bent portion of a leader line. 19. Leaders for notes should be straight, not curved. 20. Where space is limited extension lines may be drawn at an angle. 21. Dimensions should be grouped for uniform appearance. Avoid using object lines as extension lines for a dimension. Dimensions must be kept outside the boundaries of views, wherever practical. Good practice Poor practice Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 47 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M. Capao Revision # 22. Dimensions can be placed in series and parallel. When a series of dimensions is applied on a point-to-point basis, it is referred to as chain dimensioning. 23. Avoid dimensioning to hidden features.

Identify different types of technical plans and their specific applications. 2. Read and interpret various elements of technical plans. Technical Plans A technical plan or working or construction drawing is the general term used for drawings that form part of the production information that is incorporated into tender documentation and then the contract documents for the construction works. This means it has legal significance and form part of the agreement between the employer and the contractor. It is a graphical representation of what will be built, how it will be laid out, the components, framework, and dimensions. There is a construction drawing highlighting the details for every aspect of a construction project. Importance: ▪ The designer can translate the client’s ideas into a definite, practical representation of what he or she wants. ▪ The client can ensure that his or her ideas have been correctly interpreted by the designer. ▪ The contractor can give a firm estimate of what the building will cost. ▪ The designer and sub-contractors know exactly where and how to construct the building. Types 1. Block Plan This drawing gives a layout of the site or the buildings in the surrounding area, laid out on a map drawn to scale. ▪ It gives a firsthand idea of the roads, boundaries and other such details that are necessary to understand where your construction site lies. ▪ It helps the person dealing with your construction plan or project request to understand what and where you are proposing it and help you out with it too. ▪ Block plans are made in relation to Ordnance Survey Maps and the recommended scales used are 1:2500, 1:1250 or 1:500.

Capao Revision # ▪ Foundation plan – not to be mistaken for just the ground or basement floor plan. Foundation Plans are drawing work to render any of the floors of the building being constructed. They help visualize the dimension, size, shape, height and configuration of rooms/stairs/landings with each other. ▪ Floor plans – in-depth rendering of the layout of the rooms for each floor. It describes in 2D the orientation of rooms and components to each other. ▪ Sectional Drawings – these are drawings that depict a part or whole of the framework in sliced form. It helps understand the measurements of various building components with each other, the materials used in the construction of those components, the height, depth, and hollowness, etc. ▪ Elevation Drawings – these architectural drawings offer an aesthetic overview of the various components of the building such as columns, windows, and doorframes. It also helps understand the relative surface, internal markings, and relative height of these different components to each other.

Structural Drawings They are useful in understanding the physical, most important aspects of a building framework. They act as a structural design guide for the workers and on-site engineers. Common types of structural drawings are: ▪ Excavation Drawing – this civil engineering drawing describes the dimensions and positions for the excavation process prior to the actual building work. It covers details like tunneling, shafts, removal of soil, grid plans, etc required to start the groundwork. ▪ Column Layouts – These structural drawings include the layouts of the way columns will be laid out. It makes it easier for contractors to plan the layout of the building and start the process by identifying the position and distance between columns across the floor. ▪ Beam Layouts – It includes all the beam-like structures, such as the ones supporting the roof and the windows, or the beams used for strengthening purposes. They are designed for each floor and cover the length, height, material, etc. ▪ Roof slab layouts – this civil engineering drawing describes the exact dimensions of all the slabs required for roofs or slants. It can be designed over AutoCAD software as it requires precision and data. ▪ Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 53 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M.

Electrical Drawings Most residential construction drawings or commercial construction drawings require a functional outline of the number of power outlets, light fixtures, fan fixtures, etc. They also include the wiring pattern and details about the electrical load it can carry. Common details included in Electrical Drawings are: ▪ Earthing layout ▪ Light fixture layout ▪ Generator and other equipment ▪ Cable tray layout ▪ Hazardous area classifications ▪ Lighting protection system 6. Plumbing Drawings Just like electrical layouts, plumbing is another part of any residential or commercial construction drawing that marks the points where plumbing components need to be set up. Plumbing drawings commonly include: ▪ Pipes –water pipes, drainage pipes, internal pipes ▪ Material of pipes ▪ Outlet points – taps, sinks, tanks etc ▪ Position and location of pipes and outlets Document No. Date complied: Perform Issued by: June 2024 mensuration and Page 54 of 70 calculations Complied by: Kristine M.
