IED Problems 4 and 5

Here are two more problems for you to do. Problem 4 has hidden detail lines that you need to draw in the  Front view and the Isometric in problem 5 should be very challenging to do!! You should copy the problems exactly as shown. Place the views equidistant from each other and ALWAYS align the views; the top view is exactly over the top of the front view and the front view is exactly to the left of the right side view. Don't forget to draw the axis lines.

Copy the drawing as shown and then complete the front and top view.
Copy the drawing as shown and then complete the isometric view.

IED Term 2 Drawing Assignment Problems 1, 2 and 3

These drawings will be updated throughout the term so please try to check out this site when you come into class every day.

Draw this EXACTLY as shown. Label the three different views; front, top and side. Use color pencil to shade each view.
Draw this as shown. In the top view (where the four corners are shown) complete the top view. Use the isometric view to help you see how the top view should appear. Label and shade the three views

This problem  gives you three views of the SAME object. The green view is the object as seen from the top. The yellow view shows the object from the front and the red view shows the object from the right side. Hint: this is a basic L shape with a notch cut out of it. Draw this object as shown and then sketch the Isometric of this shape in the upper right corner. Shade each side of the shape the same colors as are given in the top, front, and right side views.
