This technique is used to produce pictorial drawings that show all three dimensions of an object or multiviews that only show two dimensions of an object in a single view.\u003Cbr>The difference between orthographic projection and any other method is the use of 2D views of the object instead of a single view. Orthographic projection (drawings) helps overcome the challenge of viewing 3D objects’ six faces. Orthographic drawings are used to provide a manufacturer or fabricator an accurate, measured, drawing that can be followed when making an object. Engineers used orthographic projection to create multiview drawings. | \u003Cbr>FIGURE 1: This image shows an orthographic multiview projection drawing.(Image Courtesy: Mark Smith, Industrial Technology Instructor, Reed-Custer High School, Braidwood, IL) |\n| --- | --- |\n| MULTIVIEW ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS |  |\n| A multiview orthographic projection is a drawing technique in which up to six images of an object are produced (illustrated). With each drawing the object is behind the plane of projection and the object is positioned in such a way that only two of its dimensions are shown. The parallel lines of sight go through the projection plane and the features of the part are outlined. Perspectives in orthographic and multiview projections include: linear, axonometric, and oblique types.\u003Cbr>Linear Perspective\u003Cbr>A linear perspective (drawing) is a system that creates an illusion of depth on a flat surface. All parallel lines in a linear perspective drawing use this system to unite all lines to a single or multiple vanishing points on a horizon line. There are three types of linear perspective: one-, two-, and three-point perspectives.\u003Cbr>􀀃 One-point perspective is a projection system that uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth in a drawing. |  |\n\nE-unit: Orthographic Projection: Multiview Page 2 􀀂 [www.MyCAERT.com](www.MyCAERT.com)  \nCopyright © by CAERT, Inc.— Reproduction by subscription only. 600156  \n\n| | \u003Cbr>FIGURE 3.
