Multiview Drawings

When you have completed this module, you will be able to:

1. Describe multiview drawings, the glass box principle, the three standard views, objectlines and hidden lines.

2. From a 3D pictorial object, draw a multiview drawing using the three standard views.

NOTE: If you understand multiview drawings, hidden lines and can draw the threestandard views of an object, skip this module and go directly to Module 18.

Multiview DrawingThe drafting and design world uses a system of representing athree dimensional object drawn with two dimensional views. Thisis called a multiview drawing. To explain this system of drawing,the object shown in Figure 17-1 will be used.

To draw the twodimensional views of eachside of the object, place aimaginary plane parallel to

Figure 17-2Projecting the 2 Dimensional View

each of its six sides andproject the view of theobject(perpendicular)onto each plane.This is calledorthographicprojection. Imaginethe plane to be asheet of glass. SeeFigure 17-2.

Object

To carry this principal further, place a plane on each side ofthe object for a total of six planes or sheets of glass to makea glass box. See Figure 17-3. Picture unfolding the glassbox onto a flat two dimensional plane. All six views are now

visible at the same time as you can see in Figure 17-4. The six views are named Top, Front,Right Side, Left Side, Rear, and Bottom.

Figure 17-4The Glass Box Unfolded

The Three Standard ViewsIn almost all objects, three views areadequate to describe it. In fact, there aremany objects that only need two views andsome that only need one view to describeit. We will cover those later in themodules. For now, draw three views.

The three standard views are the Top,Front, and Right Side as shown in Figure17-5. They must be drawn in the positionshown and must line up as you will see onthe page 17-3.

Picking the ViewsThe three standard views are alwaysselected as shown in Figure 17-6.

Drawing the ViewsUsually it is best to draw the viewwith the most irregular shape firstand then project lines to the othertwo views. For the object in Figure17-6, the front view should be drawnfirst and then the top and right sideviews are projected.

Notice how the views have to line up.Figure 17-7 shows two differentmethods of projecting lines from thetop view to the right side view or viseversa. Use whichever method youprefer. Figure 17-6

Picking the Three Standard ViewsThe distance between views is not

important and can be easily moved using AutoCAD as you will see in later modules. In mostcases, adjust them to accommodate dimensions and notes.

Figure 17-7Two Methods for View Layout and Alignment

All students must pick the same top, front and right side views for an objectwhen drawing a multiview drawing of it. The views must be drawn in thecorrect position and must line up. The distance between is the views is notimportant.

Drafting LessonObject and Hidden Lines

Lines and features that can be seen in the views aredrawn with continuous or solid lines. They are calledobject lines. Even though they are called object lines, theycan be circular in shape. To completely describe anobject in a multiview drawing, you must also show all linesor features that are hidden in that view. They are calledhidden lines and their linetype is dashed. Study themultiview drawing below and take note how the holesgoing through the object are shown with hidden lines.

The Multiview Drawing

The Key Principles in Module 17

The Model

1. A three dimensional object drawn with two dimensional views is called a multiviewdrawing.

2. The three standard views of a multiview drawing are the top, front, and right side.

3. When drawing a multiview drawing, the top, front and right side views of an object mustbe drawn in the correct position and must line up. The distance between the views is notimportant.
