M0- Orthographic Projection Activity

Purpose:

Based on the reading and lectures you should begin to have a basic understanding of orthographic drawings, specifically elevations and top views.  It is important for you to develop the skill to draw things in two dimensions when seeing them in three dimensions and vice versa. This will be an in class exercise

Resources:

M0- Intro to Architectural Drawings

M0- Tools and Professionalism

Task:

Orthographic Projection Work Sheet

For this exercise you will do demonstrate correctness and craft;

  • Complete the orthographic drawing worksheet as provided to you.  
  • The drawings must have 3 different line weights of varying sizes to indicate “line weight”.

1) darkest for rendering of the surfaces/edges closest to your view, 

2) not as dark for surfaces /edges further away from view and 

3) a light dashed line representing hidden edges and planes.   

Deliverables:

1. Drawing sheets of each of the cubic forms and their corresponding orthographic projections
