VIS270: activity 1.2 technical drawings

Orthographic representation drawing:
Orthographic views are two-dimensional views of three-dimensional objects. Orthographic views represent the exact shape of an object as seen from one side at a time as you are looking perpendicularly to it. Depth is not shown. For most objects, three views are sufficient to accurately describe the object. source

Front view = object drawn looking straight on
Side view = object drawn looking side on
Plan view = object drawn from above
