Plan, Elevation and Orthographic Drawing


Paraline- 3-dimensional drawings where parallel lines remain parallel - Isometric and Oblique

Oblique - Adjective (drafting) -designating a method of projection (oblique projection) in which a three-dimensional object is represented by a drawing (oblique drawing) in which the face, usually parallel to the picture plane, is represented in accurate or exact proportion, and all other faces are shown at any convenient angle other than 90°.

Plan- A view from above.

Elevation- A view of the from the front, back or side.

Orthographic- A drawing consisting of 3 views of the same object in the same proportion.

The following examples are taken from the Basic Perspective Drawing- A Visual Approach by John Montague.
