  1. Chapter 5 Sketching Applications

  2. Why Sketching? • Sketching (i.e., freehand drawing) • Drawing without drafting equipment • Only paper, pencil, and an eraser needed • Fast, visual communication • Asset for communicating technical concepts • All lines are related in sketches • Size and direction • Sketches should be proportional • Actual size depends on paper and sketch size

  3. Sketching Tools & Materials • Soft lead pencil • Initially type of paper is not critical as long as the idea can be conveyed • Grid paper is best to define scale

  4. Sketching Tools and Materials • Pencils • Should have soft lead • Common No. 2 • Mechanical pencil with H, F, or HB lead • Automatic 0.7-mm or 0.9-mm pencil with F or HB lead • Point should be slightly rounded • Paper • Almost any type works

  5. Sketching Straight Lines

  6. Sketching Circular Objects • Trammel Method • Make a trammel or use scale • Place pencil on one point while holding the end and rotate around center point • Nail and string method • Hand compass Method • Use your hand as the center and rotate the paper How did you do? Practice Sketch freehand

  7. Measurement and Proportion • Proportion of lines to each other are more important then the size of the sketch itself • The first line sketched determines the ______of the drawing • The second line determines the ______ of the drawing • Use your pencil to establish measurements if no scale is available

  8. Sketching Procedures • Before sketching try to visualize the object or finished product • Sketch very light lines of the outline • Add details being careful to keep the proportion correct • Darken in the desired lines of the final sketch • Use a grid to create irregular shapes • Use Construction Lines • Box out drawings

  9. Multiview Projection • Establishes two or more views of an object as projected on two or more planes • Uses orthographic projection techniques • Elevations • Two-dimensional exterior views of a structure • Proper view selection • Six primary views

  10. Multiview Details • Use the front, left side, right side, and back as elevations Where do all drawings come from? Floor Plans Roof Plan Cross Section Electrical Site

  11. ________________ or _______________Sketches____________ = 90º • Mirror Line • Height • Width

  12. Practical Application of Orthographic Projection • Any projection of features onto an imaginary perpendicular plane • Lines of sight are perpendicular to the plane • Objects are true size if they are parallel to the plane • Objects are foreshortened if they are not parallel to the plane • Alignment of views is critical

  13. Application Exercise

  14. One and Two Point ___________Projection Sketches • Determine best view for the front • Set up isometric axes • Sketch overall block • Add details

  15. Setting up Sketches • Perspective • Vanishing point(s) • Horizon Line • Ground Line • Isometric • Horizontal ground line • Perpendicular line • Two 30° lines
