Objectives for today

 How to represent a 3-D object
effectively on a 2-D drawing surface
with a single view (pictorials)

 How to generate pictorials using only

hand drawing tools

 Recognize types of pictorials

Pictorials
 Definition:
A sketch developed for ease of visualization that shows
an objects height, width, and depth in a single view
 Particularly useful for non-technical audiences
» Pictorials are generally not dimensioned
» Surfaces are often shaded
» Hidden lines are not shown
 Helpful in the ideation phase of design
 May be easily drawn with CAD programs

Pictorials
 Parallel Projection
» Oblique Pictorials
– Parallel projectors are not perpendicular to the
projection plane
» Axonometric Pictorials
– Projection lines are perpendicular to the
projection plane as in a multiview drawing
– Example is Isometric
 Perspective Projection
» Conveys information about distance and size
» Not as common as parallel projection

How to generate oblique projection

The construction of an
oblique sketch is a
multistep process that
begins by boxing in the
front view, adding
details, and then boxing
in the depth dimension
