6. Isometric Projections
Studio Activity:
Make an isometric drawing of the component with the axis horizontal.

Engineering Drawing I (ME 211) Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Nigeria
 Take Home Activity:
 Orthographic views of a machine part are given in Fig. Ex. 12.2. Draw, full
size, an isometric view to the dimensions given. (Do not show hidden edges.)

 Fig. Ex. 12.3 shows two machined parts. Part B, which is unfinished, is to be
fitted into Part A. Draw an isometric view of Part B when it has been shaped
to fit into part A. (Note that face C is to be flush with face D. The insert
shows the position of point E on the finished drawing.)

7. Sectioning
When a number of adjacent parts are to
be sectioned, the hatching lines should
be drawn alternately in different directions
and, where necessary, with a varied spacing
between the lines as shown.

Studio Activity:
Using the Third Angle projection draw the given plan view of the bearing below and
replace the given front elevation by a sectional front elevation on AA. Add a
sectional end view on BB.

 Take Home Activity:
Fig. Ex. 19.3 shows two views, in Third Angle projection, of a cast iron bracket.
Draw the following full size views in Third Angle projection: (a) a sectional
elevation on the plane BB; (b) a sectional end elevation on the plane AA; (c) a plan
projected from the main elevation.

8. Loci
Studio Activity:
• Draw an ellipse with a major axis of 150 mm and a minor axis of 100 mm by
the focal point method.
• Construct a parabola using the locus method, which has its vertex 20 mm
from the directrix.
• The rod AB moves so that A is always on OY and B is always on OX. Plot the
locus of P for the full movement of A from D to C. AB and BC are each 150
cm and AP is 60 cm. (Scale 1 mm to 1 cm.)

Take Home Activity:

• A hyperbola has its vertex 12 mm from the directrix and its focus 20 mm from
the vertex. Draw the curve using the locus method.
• In the given mechanism below, the crank OA revolves anti-clockwise about
O. The end B of the rod AB is constrained to move always along PQ. Plot the
locus of R for one revolution of OA if OA os 30 cm, AB is 105 cm and AR is
70 cm. (Scale 1 mm to 1 cm.)

10. Freehand Sketching
Studio Activity:
A component made from 10 mm thick plate is rectangular with sides of 35 mm and
65 mm. The corners of the rectangle are removed by 10 mm chamfers at 45°. In the
centre of the plate is a 20 mm diameter hole. Make an orthographic sketch of the
component with dimensions specifying the projection used (i.e., whether First Angle
or Third Angle), and an isometric sketch.

Take Home Activity:

A bar with square cross-section of 40 mm side is 120 mm long. At one end a length
of 50 mm is turned down to 30 mm diameter. 30 mm from the other end, a 20 mm
diameter hole is drilled right through the bar, the hole centre line being
perpendicular to the top face. Make a dimensioned orthographic sketch of the part,
and an isometric sketch.
