Lesson Notes 2.2: Different Views of Objects.
Try these:
Label the front, right side, and top of this structure.
Jamie repairs vehicles. Sometimes he needs to use orthographic drawings in reference books.
1) Which diagram is the top view of the car? __ B ___
2) Which diagram is the front view of the car? __ C ___
3) Which diagram is the side view of the car? __ A ___
4) Which diagram is the rear view of the car? __ D ___
Example 1) Sid is a design student. Sometimes he uses linking cubes to experiment with cubic building designs. A model Sid made is on the right. Sid made this drawing of the top view of his model.
Hint:
The red thicker lines are used
to show the parts that are closer to
you in each view.

A. Explain how you know the view Sid drew represents his model.
• The two squares with thick lines represent
• The two squares together with thin lines represent
the two cubes on the right side of the model.
• The square at the left with thin lines represents the cube on the left side of the model.
• The square at the bottom with thin lines represents
the cube at the front of the model.
B. Draw the front view and the right-side views. Label each view.

Example 2) Wyn operates a metal stamp machine. He has blueprints that show these orthographic drawings of a metal auto part he will make. Draw an isometric diagram of the part.
Solution
A. Draw the top of the object. Some of the lines of the top have been done for you.
B. Add the front of the object to your diagram. One line of the front has been done for you.
C. Add the right side to your diagram. Add the other lines to complete your diagram.

Assignment 2.2: Different Views of Objects.
1. a) Circle the group of orthographic drawings that matches the object on the left. b) Explain how you know the other groups do not match it.
A. e.g., The top view shows the wrong shape. The right-side view is wrong.
C. e.g., The top view shows the wrong shape of the base. The right-side view is wrong.
D. e.g., The front view shows the wrong shape. The right-side view is wrong.
2. Draw and label the top, front, and right-side views of each cube structure.

3. Draw the top, front, and right-side views of each object.
4. For each set of orthographic drawings, make an isometric drawing of the object.
5. Draw and label each view below of a cylinder (can of soft drink).
• top • front • left side • right side
