Engi 1504 – Graphics Lecture 4: More on visualization • Review of isometrics • Adjacent and similar areas • Projection studies and assignment 4
Isometric Sketching: Steps • Visualize object by breaking into known shapes (circles, prisms, etc) • Define overall size defining width, height and depth • Sketch known shapes • Connect ‘loose ends’ • Darken
Adjacent Areas • Adjacent areas are surfaces that reside next to each other • The boundary between surfaces is represented by a line indicating a change in plane
Many possible solutions Use all views necessary to represent the object clearly • Adjacent areas represent surfaces that are: • At different levels • Inclined or oblique • Cylindrical • A combination of the above
Similar Areas • A surface always appears as either a line or as an area • When a surface appears as an area it may be true size or distorted. • Only angles and lengths of sides are changed, the number of sides and their sequence are unaffected
Similar Areas cont. Rule of configuration: Every plane surface, regardless of shape, always appears either as an edge or as a figure of similar configuration
Similar Areas cont. If a surface shows similar configuration in two views and appears as an edge in the third view: Inclined surface An inclined surface is perpendicular to one of the principal planes of projection and inclined to the others. If a surface shows similar configuration in all views: Oblique surface
Inclined and Oblique Surfaces Inclined (vertical) Inclined Inclined Oblique
Inclined and Oblique Surfaces Based on what we’ve learned, where is the error? Remove corners
Finding Missing Information • Today’s assignment is to complete the views of an object that are missing some information. • Let’s looks at Example 2.8 in the text.
Finding Missing Information • Given that the front view is incomplete and the side view is complete, draw the top view, complete the front view, and sketch the isometric
Finding Missing Information • Front view: there is no line corresponding to the bottom of the slot
Finding Missing Information • Top view: project the width, depth and slot points
Finding Missing Information • Darken lines and complete the sketch
Class Assignment 4 • Sketch the missing view (or missing lines) and an isometric for Questions 104 and 106 in workbook. • Notes: • the missing views must be completed using your drawing instruments • the isometric must be done freehand
