Multi-view Projection

In an orthographic projection, the object is oriented in such a way that only two of its dimensions are shown. The dimensions obtained are the true dimensions of the object .

Frontal plane of projection

Frontal plane of projection is the plane onto which the Front View (FV) of the multi-view drawing is projected.
Figure 8 illustrates the method of obtaining the Front view of an object. Front view of an object shows the width and height dimensions.

Figure 8 illustrates the method of obtaining the Front view of an object.

Horizontal plane of projection

Horizontal plane of projection is the plane onto which the Top View of the multi-view drawing is projected and is shownin  Figure 9. The Top view of an object shows the width and depth dimensions of the object.

Figure 9 illustrates the method of obtaining the Top view of an object.
