| Orthographic projection | | Method of representing the exact shape of an object in two or more planes generally at right angles to each other by extending perpendiculars from the object to the planes. The term `orthogonal projection` is sometimes used for this system of drawing...... | | Similar Terms |

| Oblique projection | | The representation of objects on a single plane by means of their projections, the projecting lines making angles other than 90o with the plane. The object is usually placed with the front face, or two of the principal axes, parallel to the plane of projection. The angle of the projections with the plane is usually 45o and the drawing is then calle..... | | Similar Terms |

| Axonometric projection | | The representation of objects by means of their perpendicular projections on a single plane so placed that a rectangular solid projected upon it would show three faces. When all three faces are equally inclined to the plane of projection so that all the edges (and the three principal axes) are equally foreshortened, the method is called `isometric ..... | | Similar Terms |
