Projection of Sectional View : An Example

Draw the Sectional Orthographic Projections of the object given below: (1) Sectional Front View (2) Top view.

Orthographic Projections - Engineering Drawing
Orthographic Projections - Engineering Drawing

Procedure:

Step-1 Draw a horizontal x-y line of some suitable length. And x’-y’ line perpendicular to preciously drawn x-y line and give the point O at the intersection of the two lines.
Step-2 In this problem the Sectional Front View, Top View have to be drawn in 1st angle method of projection (By default it is 1st angle method of projection), so first find out the total length, total height and total width from the isometric drawing given above. The total length is the length of the base of the front view, i.e., form X direction. The total height is the height in the front view and the total width is the length of the base in the side view.
Step-3 The total length is 165 mm, total height is 139 mm and the total width is 66 mm.
Step-4 Draw two boxes with light straight lines at respective location in such a way that the views should be in 1st angle method of projection. And these boxes should be at least 10 mm away from the x-y & x’-y’ lines.
Step-5 Then start the drawing by Sectional front view and within the respective box with dimensions, and it should be drawn with medium dark lines or curves. Like in this way draw all the required view and look for the hidden lines, which are drawn as dashed line. But the drawing should be drawn by transferring the projectors only wherever possible.
Step-6 Give the dimensions by any one method of dimensions and give the name of the views, as shown in the figure.

Orthographic Projection -Multi view drawing : an example

Draw the Orthographic Projections of the object given below: (1) Front View (2) Top View  (3) R.H.S.V.

Orthographic Projections Problem - Engineering Drawing

Procedure:

Step-1 Draw a horizontal x-y line of some suitable length. And x’-y’ line perpendicular to preciously drawn x-y line and give the point O at the intersection of the two lines.
Step-2 In this problem the Front View, Top View and Right Hand Side View have to be drawn in 1st angle method of projection, so first find out the total length, total height and total width from the isometric drawing given above. The total length is the length of the base of the front view, i.e., form X direction. The total height is the height in the front view and the total width is the length of the base in the side view.
Step-3 The total length is 50 mm, total height is 90 mm and the total width is 60 mm.
Step-4 Draw three boxes with light straight lines at respective location in such a way that the views should be in 1st angle method of projection. And these boxes should be at least 10 mm away from the x-y & x’-y’ lines.
Step-5 Then start the drawing by front view and within the respective box with dimensions, and it should be drawn with medium dark lines or curves. Like in this way draw all the required view and look for the hidden lines, which are drawn as dashed line. But the drawing should be drawn by transferring the projectors only wherever possible.
Step-6 Give the dimensions by any one method of dimensions and give the name of the views, as shown in the figure.

Projection of Points

Projection of Points – Point’s position will be given in data. We need to find out its projection on H.P. (Horizontal Plane) and on V.P. (Vertical Plane).

There are maximum four quadrant wise positions possible of point. As we all know about quadrant, there are 4 quadrants exist. See figure below.
quadrants
Here are four quadrant wise positions for any point.
  1. Above H.P. and In Front of V.P. which shows point is in First Quadrant
  2. Above H.P. and Behind V.P. which shows point is in Second Quadrant
  3. Below H.P. and Behind V.P. which shows point is in Third Quadrant
  4. Below H.P. and In Front of V.P. which shows point is in Fourth Quadrant
See figure below.
quadrants-point-positions
Let us check these quadrants in H.P. (Horizontal Plane) and on V.P. (Vertical Plane) view. See figure below.
quadrants-3d
To find solution of problems based on projections we need to rotate H.P. (Horizontal Plane) in clockwise direction to 90º.
After this rotation of H.P. it will become parallel to V.P. See fig below.
quadrants-rotation
Solved Example:
Data: A Point “M” is 40 mm above H.P. and 40 mm in front of V.P. Draw its projections.
Solution: As point’s position is above H.P. and In Front of V.P. it is in First Quadrant. See figure below.
quadrants-point-position
We will get m’ projected on V.P. for front view which shows Elevation and m on H.P. for top view which shows Plan.
So, plan will be 40 mm in front of V.P. and Elevation will be 40 mm above H.P.
As per we discussed before for solution we need to rotate H.P. in clockwise direction up to 90º. See figure below.
point-solution
So the solution for the above data is:
final-point-projection
Plan: Projection on H.P.         Elevation: Projection on V.P.
In same way we can find projections for any point at any condition. Just remember to rotate H.P. at 90º while drawing solution.
Here are few important notes:
  1. When point is in 1st quadrant, its plan will be below XY (reference line) and elevation will be above XY.
  2. When point is in 2nd quadrant, its plan and elevation both will be above XY.
  3. When point is in 3rd quadrant, its plan will be above XY and elevation will be below XY.
  4. When point is in 4th quadrant, its plan and elevation both will be below XY.

Methods of Dimensions


To show dimensions of all parts of drawing is mandatory for engineer. All lines in drawing would have length, width or radius to indicate. The use of proper dimensioning method will tends to full marks for correct drawing. Now let us discuss methods of dimensioning in brief.
There are two Methods of Dimensions. (1) Uni-directional System  (2) Aligned System.

(1) Uni-directional System 

Procedure: UNIDIRECTIONAL METHOD OF DIMENSIONING

Step-1 Draw an example drawing as given into the above figure.  Drawing should be drawn as per the given dimensions.
Step-2 In Unidirectional Method of  Dimensioning the dimension line should be cut at center and dimensions should be placed in the middle of dimension lines as shown into the figure.
Step-3 At the ends of dimension lines filled arrow heads should be placed.

(2) Aligned System

Procedure: ALIGNED METHOD OF DIMENSIONING

Step-1 Draw an example drawing as given into the above figure.  Drawing should be drawn as per the given dimensions.
Step-2 In Aligned Method of Dimensioning the dimension line should be continuous and dimensions should be placed in the middle of dimension lines as shown into the figure.
Step-3 At the ends of dimension lines filled arrow heads should be placed.
www.engineeringdrawing.org

Dimensioning Rules

List General Rules for Dimensioning – A neat drawing is  not only required to achieve full marks in technical drawing but several rules for dimensioning must be followed.
The following rules should be considered while dimensioning:
1. Standard sizes of letters and figures should be used.
2. All dimensions should be specified in mm. The use of mm should be avoided by giving a general note “All dimensions are in mm”.
3. As far as possible dimensions should be placed outside the views.
4. Dimension lines should not run in the direction included in the hatched area.
5. Dimensions should be taken from visible outlines rather than from dashed lines.
6. Dimensions should be given from a base line, a centre line, an important hole, or a finished surface which may be readily established.
7. Dimensions should be quoted only once in one view.
8. Overall dimensions should be placed outside the intermediate dimensions.
9. Dimensions should be placed outside a sectional view.
10. Zero should precede the decimal point when the dimension is less than unity.
11. Dimension line should not cross. Also dimension lines and extension lines should not cross.
12. When there are several dimension lines, the shorter dimension should be nearer the view.
13. Leaders should not be drawn curved or made free hand.
14. Do not use outlines for dimensions.
15. Same method of dimensioning should be used for all dimension lines.
