Orthographic Projection
(First Angle and Third Angle)
Orthographic projection is the solution to the biggest problem that a draughts
person has to solve – how to draw, with sufficient clarity, a three-dimensional
object on a two dimensional plane.
The drawing must show quite clearly the detailed outlines of all the faces and
these outlines must be fully dimensioned.
Orthographic projection allow a draughtsman to show the exact form, shape
and sizes of solids objects

with first angle projection, what you see from the left you draw on the right,
what you see from the right you draw on the left and what you see from
above you draw below.

with third angle projection, what you see from the left you draw on the left,
what you see from the right you draw on the right and what you see from
above you draw above.
