    Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin perspicere 'to see through') is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection. [ citation needed ] [ dubious – discuss ] Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by ...

    To get a true view (length in the projection is equal to length in 3D space) of one of the lines: SU in this example, projection 3 is drawn with hinge line H 2,3 parallel to S 2 U 2. To get an end view of SU, projection 4 is drawn with hinge line H 3,4 perpendicular to S 3 U 3. The perpendicular distance d gives the shortest distance between PR ...

    Perspective in the manner of the classic Ideal city by Jean-Max Albert,1977. Two point perspective, interior of Dercy House by Robert Adam, 1777. Perspective in drawing is an approximate representation on a flat surface of an image as it is perceived by the eye. The key concepts here are: Perspective is the view from a particular fixed viewpoint.

  5. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    In cavalier projection (sometimes cavalier perspective or high view point) a point of the object is represented by three coordinates, x, y and z. On the drawing, it is represented by only two coordinates, x″ and y″ .

  6. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    A section, or cross-section, is a view of a 3-dimensional object from the position of a plane through the object. A section is a common method of depicting the internal arrangement of a 3-dimensional object in two dimensions. It is often used in technical drawing and is traditionally crosshatched. The style of crosshatching often indicates the ...

    A worm's-eye view is a description of the view of a scene from below that a worm might have if it could see. It is the opposite of a bird's-eye view. [1]It can give the impression that an object is tall and strong while the viewer is childlike or powerless.

  8. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    [2] [3] Typically in axonometric drawing, as in other types of pictorials, one axis of space is shown to be vertical. In isometric projection , the most commonly used form of axonometric projection in engineering drawing, [ 4 ] the direction of viewing is such that the three axes of space appear equally foreshortened , and there is a common ...

  9. Centrolinead - Wikipedia

    The link to this ruler can also slide, allowing the angle of the ruler to shift so that it always intersects the vanishing point. To use Nicholson's centrolinead, two lines converging at the vanishing point must already be drawn. Farey's centrolinead uses two hinged support arms and a drawing arm.
