Line Conventions
This type of line is very lightly drawn to guide drawing other lines and shapes
Construction Line
This type of drawing shows three faces of an object in one view and provides a realistic view of the object
Pictorial Drawing
This type of pictorial drawing starts with a straight-on view of one of the object's faces, often the front face
Oblique Pictorial
This type of drawing offers the most realistic three-dimensional view of all the pictorial methods, portraying the object in a manner similar to how the human eye perceives the visual world.
Perspective Drawing
This type of drawing shows two or more two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional object and serves as the main form of communication between designers and manufacturers
Multiview Drawing
This thick and dark line defines the object in a technical drawing
Object Line
In an isometric drawing, these three edges represent height, width, and depth and converge at one point appearing as 120-degree angles
Isometric Axes
These angled, parallel lines are drawn to one side to represent the object's depth in an oblique pictorial.
Depth Lines
This type of perspective drawing uses one vanishing point on the horizon line and is relatively simple to make but somewhat awkward in appearance
One-Point Perspective
This technique is used to create multiview drawings by projecting the features of an object onto an imaginary plane of projection
Orthographic Projection
This line shows interior detail not visible from the outside of the part.
Hidden Line
This sketching technique is used to maintain proportionality by envisioning an object contained within an imaginary box
Box Method
This type of oblique pictorial represents the depth of the object at full scale, making the object appear deeper than it actually is
Cavalier Oblique
This type of perspective drawing uses two vanishing points on the horizon line and is the most common perspective drawing.
Two-Point Perspective
This imaginary surface exists between the viewer and the object, onto which a two-dimensional view of a three-dimensional object is projected and created
Projection Plane
This line defines the center of arcs, circles, or symmetrical parts and is half as thick as an object line
Center Line
This step in isometric sketching involves deciding the light source position and adding shading to two of the three faces to enhance the appearance
Tonal Shading
This type of oblique pictorial represents the depth of the object at half scale, providing a more realistic view because the depth does not appear distorted.
Cabinet Oblique
This type of perspective drawing gives the viewer either a worm’s-eye or bird’s-eye view of an object, using three vanishing points
Three-Point Perspective
This process involves using projection lines to project each corner of an object outward until they reach the projection plane, then connecting the projected corners with object lines
Orthographic Projection Process
This rule states that object lines take precedence over hidden and center lines, and cutting plane lines take precedence over all others
Line Precedence
An isometric pictorial begins with a ________ (the first thing the viewer sees)
Point
What degree are the depth lines drawn at to create oblique pictorials
45 degrees
The line that represents where all the lines of the perspective drawing merge and vanish
Horizon line
What are the three most typical views represented in a Multiview drawing?
Front, Top, and Right
