Multiview orthographic projection

Multiview Orthographic Projection is when we take a 3D object and make it look like it is 2D by drawing it from different angles.

Think of it like taking a picture of your toy car from different sides. When you take a picture from the top, you can see the roof of the car. But when you take a picture from the side, you can see the wheels and the doors. By taking pictures from different angles, we get different views of the car.

Drawing a 3D object using Multiview Orthographic Projection is like taking pictures of the object from different angles, but instead of using a camera, we use special drawing techniques. These techniques show what the object would look like if we were looking at it from the top, front, and side.

For example, imagine you have a toy block. The top view would show what the top of the block looks like if you were looking down at it. The front view would show what the block looks like if you were looking at it from the front. The side view would show what the block looks like from the side. By drawing these different views, we can fully see and understand what the object looks like in 3D.

This technique is helpful for architects, engineers, and other professionals who need to create plans for buildings, machinery, or other objects. By using Multiview Orthographic Projection, they can create accurate drawings of their designs that show all the important details from different angles.
