Lesson 6:Oblique Projection Drawings

Cavalier Oblique

The cavalier perspective, also called cavalier projection or high view point, is a way to represent a three-dimensional object on a flat drawing, and more specifically, a type of oblique projection. Cavalier projection is the name of such a projection, where the length along the z axis remains full scale (Full Size) . In cavalier oblique drawings, all lines (including receding lines) are made to their true length.(Figure – 2)
A point of the object is represented by three coordinates, x, yz. On the drawing, it is represented by only two coordinates, x" and y". On the flat drawing, two axes, x and z on the figure, are perpendicular and the length on these axes are drawn with a 1:1 scale. The length of the third axis is not scaled. In this convention the angles used are 45 degrees and 90 degrees.
