Q

Isometric drawing characteristics

A
  • an accurate method of showing 3 faces
  • used widely for designing and sketching ideas
  • all lines are scaled so accuracy is intact
  • horizontal lines are 30 degrees to the horizontal
  • all vertical lines are at 90 degrees to the horizontal
  • circles are ellipse

Q

2-point perspective characteristics

A
  • used in architecture and interior design
  • objects appear to get smaller as they converge at the vanishing points
  • 2 vanishing points give length and width
  • street view - objects on the horizon line
  • worms eye - object above the horizontal line, showing bottom
  • birds eye view - objects below the horizontal line, showing up

Q

Orthographic drawings characteristics

A
  • 1st angle and 3rd angle projections
  • used in engineering drawings, plans and models
  • front, side and plan elevations
  • hidden detail such as holes shown by noted lines
  • section views taking a slice through the object to show detail of internal elements

Q

Planometric (axonometric) characteristics

A
  • also known as axonometic drawing
  • best for architectural drawings
  • drawn at 45 degrees to the horizontal
  • circles drawn as circles so some perspective is lost
  • dimensions are true or scaled
  • verticals can be scaled down to avoid distortion

Q

Nets characteristics

A
  • a 3D design can be created using a 2D drawing
  • solid black lines are cut lines
  • dotted lines are fold lines
  • tabs are essential construction elements to apply glue for fixing
  • a closure system is a tuck flap or crag base
