Multi view drawings

A multi view drawing is one that shows two or more two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional object. These drawings provide the shape description of an object. When combined with dimensions, multi view drawings serve as the main form of communication between designers and manufacturers.

  • All three-dimensional objects have width, height, and depth.
  • Width is associated with an object’s side-to-side dimension.
  • Height is the measure of an object from top-to-bottom.
  • Depth is associated with front-to-back distance.

  • Multi view drawings show only two dimensions at a time.
  • Each face of the object is drawn separately so that proportions and scale can be maintained.
  • Because it is not possible to show the entire object with just one view it is called as multi view drawings.
  • Multi view drawings are those in which one face of the object is parallel to the picture plane and projections from the object are perpendicular to the picture plane (Figure – 1)
