  2. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    A 3D projection (or graphical projection) is a design technique used to display a three-dimensional (3D) object on a two-dimensional (2D) surface. These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a simpler plane. 3D projections use the primary qualities of an object's basic ...

  3. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    v. t. e. An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component.

  4. Descriptive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_geometry

    Descriptive geometry is the branch of geometry which allows the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions by using a specific set of procedures. The resulting techniques are important for engineering, architecture, design and in art. [1] The theoretical basis for descriptive geometry is provided by planar geometric projections.

  5. Axonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometry

    Axonometry is a graphical procedure belonging to descriptive geometry that generates a planar image of a three-dimensional object. The term "axonometry" means "to measure along axes ", and indicates that the dimensions and scaling of the coordinate axes play a crucial role. The result of an axonometric procedure is a uniformly-scaled parallel ...

  6. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    An orthographic projection map is a map projection of cartography. Like the stereographic projection and gnomonic projection, orthographic projection is a perspective (or azimuthal) projection, in which the sphere is projected onto a tangent plane or secant plane. The point of perspective for the orthographic projection is at infinite distance.

  7. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    t. e. In technical drawing and computer graphics, a multiview projection is a technique of illustration by which a standardized series of orthographic two-dimensional pictures are constructed to represent the form of a three-dimensional object. Up to six pictures of an object are produced (called primary views), with each projection plane ...

  8. Parallel projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection

    Graphical projection. In three-dimensional geometry, a parallel projection (or axonometric projection) is a projection of an object in three-dimensional space onto a fixed plane, known as the projection plane or image plane, where the rays, known as lines of sight or projection lines, are parallel to each other.

  9. Projection plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_plane

    A projection plane, or plane of projection, is a type of view in which graphical projections from an object intersect. [1] Projection planes are used often in descriptive geometry and graphical representation. A picture plane in perspective drawing is a type of projection plane. With perspective drawing, the lines of sight, or projection lines ...
