Orthogonal Projections and Principal Views in Technical Drawing
Orthogonal projections and principal views
Usually called the principal views of an object, these are the orthogonal projections of the object onto six planes arranged as faces of a cube. They can also be described as the orthogonal projections of an object according to the different directions from which you view it. The rules that govern the representation of the views of an object are included in UNE 1-032-82, "Technical drawings: General principles of representation," which is equivalent to ISO 128-82.
Name of views
How the six views are obtained
If we place an observer according to the six directions indicated by the arrows, we obtain six possible views of an object.
Name and common terms for each view
