Explanation:

Projection

  • If straight lines are drawn from various points on the contour of an object to meet a plane, the object is said to be projected on that plane.
  • The figure formed by joining, in the correct sequence the points at which the lines meet the plane is called a projection of that object.
  • The lines from the object to the plane are called projectors.
  • For the purpose of construction, a drawing should show the true shapes of all parts of an object together with their sizes.
  • Orthographic projection is universally adopted for this purpose.
  • By this method, the description of the object regarding its shape and size is conveyed in definite and unmistakable terms so that it can be constructed precisely.
  • The object is shown in two or more views, obtained by looking at it from different angles and arranged in a definite manner.
