Visualization

Visualization is often used as a mode of communication between engineersSketches, tables, graphs, computer generated drawings, blueprints are various ways in which engineers communicate via visual mediums

How Would You Describe This?

In teams of two, describe using only wordsHow effective is this approach?

Three Basic Types of Technical Drawings

Freehand sketches

Instrument drawings

Introduction to Projections

Present 3-D objects with 2-D mediaTwo Basic Categories

Orthographic Pictorial

Projections: Four Basic Types

Orthographic Projections

Axonometric

Oblique Perspective

Pictorials

Note: Isometric is a special case of Axonometric

Types of Axonometrics

Pictorial DrawingsShows an object like you would see in a photographGive a three dimensional view of a room or structureThree common types Isometric (Axonometric) Oblique Perspective

Pictorial Sketch of Kitchen

Review Questions 1-2

Isometric Drawings

The most common pictorialsConstructed with the two faces 30 degrees above the horizontalThe axes are 120 degrees between each axisLines that are horizontal are drawn at 30 degreesVertical lines remain vertical

13

Isometric Projection

• Isometric means equal measure• All planes are equally or proportionately shortened and tilted• All the major axes (X, Y, Z) are 120 degrees apart

Making an Isometric Sketch

Isometric Axis

Isometric Dimensioning

Dimension lines are parallel to the isometric axesExtension lines are extended in line with these axes

Oblique Drawings

The front view is draw like it would be using orthographic projectionThe front view shows all features with true shape and sizeThe top and side view are then projected back from the front viewViews can be at any angle15, 30 or 45 degrees are common

Oblique Drawing

Oblique Drawings Continued

Useful when the front contains more details and features than the side viewA mental image can be created more quickly than with orthographic aloneTwo types of oblique drawings cavalier cabinet

Review Questions 3-5

Cavalier Oblique

The entire drawing uses the same scaleSometimes creates a distorted appearance

Which is the cube ?

Were you right?

Cavalier Oblique

Front view true sizeReceding Axis Angle (Normally 30°, 45° or 60°) is VariableDepth dimension (receding axis) true size

Cabinet Oblique

Front view true sizeReceding Axis Angle (Normally 30°, 45° or 60°) is VariableDepth dimension (receding axis) half size

Cavalier Oblique Drawing

Cabinet Oblique

Measurements on the receding axes are reduced by halfMore visually realistic representationOften used for drawing cabinets

Cabinet Oblique Drawing

Review Questions 6-8

Perspective DrawingsThe most realistic of all pictorial drawingsReceding lines in the drawing “meet” at a vanishing point instead of being parallelEliminates distortion at the back part of pictorial drawingsTwo types parallel (one-point) perspective angular (two point) perspective

Perspective Drawing

Parallel Perspective (One Point)

One face of the object is shown as the front viewLines parallel to the front view remain parallelLines that are perpendicular to the front view converge at a SINGLE VANISHING POINT

Angular Perspective (Two-Point)

Similar to isometric drawingsOne edge of the object is place in frontThe two faces that meet at this edge recede to DIFFERENT VANISHING POINTSAll lines parallel to each face go to the different vanishing points

Angular Perspective Drawing

Types of Perspectives

Horizon Below Object

Exploded Pictorial Drawings

Used to show relative position of parts or construction detailsUsed to clarify assembly sequenceCommon in appliance and cabinetry service manuals
