Scale • Scales are used to measure distances on technical drawings. • Types of scales • Mechanical Engineers Scale (Fractional divisions) • Civil Engineer’s Scale (Division of 10) • Metric Scale • Architectural Scale (Fractional divisions) • Combination Scale
Mechanical Engineer’s Scale • Mechanical Drawings are drawn in inches. • 16 Divisions per inch • Scales • 1:1 Full Size • 1:2 Half Size • 1:4 Quarter Size • 1:8 One Eight Size
Civil Engineer’s Scale • Civil Drawings are drawn in feet as the base unit. • Scales commonly used • 1”:10’ 1”:100’ • 1”:20’ 1”:200’ • 1”:30’ 1”:300’ • 1”:40’ 1”:400’ • 1”:50’ 1”:500’ • 1”:60’ 1”:600’
Metric Scale • Metric Mechanical Drawings are drawn in inches. • Metric Civil Drawings are drawn in meters. • Scale • 1:1 Full Size • 1:2 Half Size • 1:5 Fifth Size • 1:10 Tenth Size
Drawing Scale • We use scale in drawing to represent objects in the appropriate size on our drawing sheet. • We can represent large objects on a B-Size sheet using scale. (1” = 50’) • We can represent small objects on B-Size Sheet using scale. (4:1) • What are some examples that you might want to represent in a drawing?
Drawing Scales are Ratios • Drawing Size : Actual Size A rectangular box on a drawing with the scale of 2:1 has the measured dimensions 10” W x 16” L x 20” H. How large is the actual box?
Drawing Scales are Ratios • Drawing Size : Actual Size You are looking at drawings for a proposed golf course. The distance from the tee-box to the hole is 12 inches. If the scale on the drawing is 1”:50’, how far is it from the tee-box to the hole.
Understanding Projections • Behind every 2D drawing of an object is a space relationship involving the object and three “imagined” things: • The observer’s eye or station point • The plane of projection • The projectors • Also called visual rays or lines of sight
Types of Projection • There are two main types of projection • Parallel projection – the projectors are parallel • Perspective projection – the projectors come together at the station point • Perspective drawings represent objects as we see them
Perspective Projection • Perspective – The most realistic of the pictorial drawing styles because it is closest to the way that we see. • An ordinary photograph shows the view in perspective. • We will not cover this view in this class. • You can study it on you own. See Chapter 16 in you text. • A drawing class would be another option.
Types of Parallel Projection • Orthographic projections are a type of parallel projection • Orthographic (right angle) projections have parallel projectors that are perpendicular (90 degrees) to the plane of projection • In orthographic projection objects can be presented at true size or scaled at a proportion of their true size
Types of Orthographic Projection • Multiview projection – A two dimensional representation of a three dimensional object. • It shows one or more necessary views of an object • Front, Rear, Top, Bottom, Right or Left
Multiview DrawingsFirst- and Third-Angle Projection • There are two main systems used for projecting and unfolding the views: • Third-angle projection which is used in the United States, Canada and some other countries • First-angle projection which is primarily used in Europe and Asia • You should understand both methods
Types of Orthographic Projection • Axonometric projections • Isometric, Dimetric, and Trimetric
Isometric Projection • For a cube an isometric view obtained by first looking straight towards one face. Next the cube is rotated ±45° about the vertical axis, followed by a rotation of approximately ±35.264° (precisely arcsin(tan 30°) ) about the horizontal axis
Types of Parallel Projection • Oblique projection – when projectors are parallel to each other but are at an angle other than 90 degrees to the plane of projection • Oblique projections are commonly drawn at a 45˚ angle from the plane of projection.
Types of Projection • Technical drawings of 3D objects usually use one of four standard types of projection • Multiview • Axonometric • Oblique • Perspective ORTHOGRAPHIC Parallel PICTORIAL
