Activity 2.3 Glass Box
In activity 2.3 we created a glass box. A glass box is where you create a plastic box with a puzzle cube taped to its bottom. On each side of the glass box, you draw a view of the object inside the box in the form of multi-view sketching. For example on one side of the glass box I would draw the front view of the puzzle cube and on the adjacent side I'd draw the rear view of the puzzle cube. This was an interactive example of multi-view sketching.
Conclusion Questions
1. How do you determine the orientation of orthographic projections in a multi-view drawing? I can determine the orientation of orthogonal projections due to its position in relation to the object's front view in a multi-view drawing. For example, in relation to the front view in a multi-view drawing an object's side view is to the right of the front view and in relation to the top view in a multi-view drawing an object's top view is above the front view.
2. How would you describe the geometric relationship that exists between the adjacent views of a multiview drawing? With the adjacent views of a multiview drawing their geometric relationship is that they match up on the same lines or that they are aligned. For example, the top of the front view matches up with the top of the side view and the right of the top view matches up with the right of the top view.
3. Why is it important to lay out a multiview sketch with points and construction lines before drawing object lines? It's important to lay out a multiview sketch with points and construction lines before drawing object lines because if you lay out a multiview sketch before drawing object lines it makes sure that the front view, side view, and the top view of an object are aligned.
