What drawing method would generate a three-view drawing?

• A. Isometric
• B. Orthographic
• C. Perspective
• D. Axonometric

Answer: (B)

Orthographic projection is used to create multiple, true-to-size views of an object on separate planes—typically front, top, and side. Each view is projected perpendicular to its plane, so dimensions don’t distort and edges line up across views, making it possible to measure and construct precisely from the set. Other methods mix depth into a single image (isometric or axonometric), or use perspective with vanishing points, which aren’t used to build the standard three-view layout. That combination of separate, parallel views is what produces a three-view drawing.
