Leverage 3D CAD to create pictorial views
- [Instructor] Even though the system of projections is enough to define the three-dimensional orientation of a part, it is still extremely helpful to have a pictorial representation of the finished piece. Fortunately, 3D CAD makes drawing these views easy. And in this video, we will discuss the different types of pictorial views and some guidelines for how they can be used in drawings. A pictorial view shows multiple sides of a part at once and hence features generally don't appear in their true size or shape. There are several different types of pictorial views. And while isometric is the most common, you are free to choose the view that best represents your part. Pictorial views may be shaded, as long as it doesn't impact legibility. And while they don't include dimensions, they may feature notes or even color-coding. To summarize, use pictorial views whenever possible to clarify the three dimensional geometry of parts.…
