1st Angle vs 3rd Angle of Projection

2

Orthographic Projection is a way of drawing an object from different directions. Usually a front, side and plan view are drawn so that a person looking at the drawing can see all the important sides. Orthographic drawings are useful especially when a design has been developed to a stage whereby it is almost ready to manufacture. IMPORTANT: There are two ways of drawing in orthographic First Angle and Third Angle. They differ only in the position of the plan, front and side views. Below is an example of third angle projection.

An L-shaped object.
The Plan View of the L-shape is drawn as a birds eye view, a view from above. The Front View is drawn as if stood in front of the L-shape. The Side View is drawn as if stood at the side.
