In order to create an accurate Multivew drawing of an object, one must begin by identifying the proper Front of an object. In this Activity, Students will review the guidelines for selecting a proper front then determine the proper front for each object.
Shows best shape and characteristic contours
Longest dimensions on Horizontal
Fewest hidden lines
Most stable and natural position
Example: The Figure above shows four isometric orientations of the same plastic part. All four isometric views show the same part in a different orientation. Which letter is the best front view?
Shows the longest dimension (2 inches)
Shows the best shape and characteristic contours (a sideways U)
Hides the fewest edges and features (none)
Displays the most stable and natural position
Now Work through the Practice Quiz to see if you can properly Identify the Front.
