complicated drawings may require more than
three views
when a surface is perpendicular to the plane of
projection,
it will project an edge view of the surface.
when a surface is parallel to the plane of projection
the surface will project true size and true shape
when a surface is inclined to the plane of projection
the surface will project foreshortened
