_____ view.

drawing is called ______ the drawing.
10. Identify two methods used to project depth distances between the top and side views in a
multiview drawing.
Outside Activities
1. Collect objects for the class to create multiview drawings using manual instruments.
One object should require only two views; another object should require a three-view
drawing. Find other objects that require more than three views to give a complete shape
description.
2. Build a hinged box out of clear plastic that can be used to demonstrate the “unfolding” of
the sides to show the front, top, bottom, and side views of an object. Place an object inside
the box, trace the profi les of the object on the sides of the plastic with chalk or a marker,
and then unfold the box to show the multiview projections.
3. Make a large poster for your drafting room showing the step-by-step procedure for
centering a drawing on a sheet using one of the two methods explained in this chapter.
1. Obtain a common workshop tool, such as a wrench or C-clamp. Using digital calipers,
practice making internal and external measurements of the tool. Make measurements in
both inch and metric units. Once you are comfortable making measurements with the
calipers, record the various measurements and make a multiview drawing of the tool.
Use an appropriate drawing scale. Select the most appropriate view for the front view
and project other views as needed.
2. Select several objects in your drafting room. Select one that would require two views
to fully describe it, another that would require three views, and yet another that would
require more than three views. Measure each object with the appropriate measuring tools
necessary to make measurements accurately. Select an appropriate drawing scale for each
object and create a multiview drawing of the object.
Draw the problems shown on the problem sheets on the following pages. Use the dimensions provided.
Dimensions are in inches unless otherwise indicated. Follow the directions on each problem sheet.
