Observation

This was a question on reading and interpreting a drawing in isometric projection and transferring this drawing into orthographic views.

            Many candidates attempted this question and candidates strength were shown in the following areas:

            -           good use of lines and instruments;
            -           drawing the front elevation;
            -           drawing the plan and end elevation.

            However, some of the candidates were unable to:

  • draw the centerlines;
  • draw the projection lines;
  • draw hidden lines;
  • position the views correctly;
  • label the views.

 

            Candidates were expected to do the following:

            ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION OF THE BLOCK

  • Front Elevation

 

  • draw four vertical lines;
  • draw three horizontal lines;
  • draws two centre lines;
  • draw two circles;
  • label front elevation.
  • Plan

 

  • draw six vertical lines (outlines);

  • draw one centre line;
  • label plan.
  • Side Elevation

 

  • draw four vertical lines;
  • draw five horizontal lines;
  • draw one slant line;
  • draw one centre line;
  • label side elevation.

D.        (i)         using correct scale (size);
            (ii)        correct position of views.
