| SpaceCAD Lesson 10. Orthographic Projection of Space Shuttle Orbiter |
An
orthographic view is when you are looking at a object from 90 degrees, or straight at it. This means that
you can only see 1 side of the object. In this
drawing, the object is a cube. The view on the left
is isometric and is explained in lesson 11. The
other views are orthographic. You see either the top,
left side, right side, bottom, front, or
back. The maximum
number of orthographic projects necessary to define any
three-dimensional object is 6.  Click here to go back to the Lesson 10 start
