Perpendicular projection, view alignment, and feature correspondence

Orthographic Projection and Glass-Box Studio

Inspect one dimensionally consistent stepped bracket, project the same controlling features onto the principal planes, and unfold those planes into standard first- or third-angle view placement.

Drag to orbit. Red projectors terminate on the frontal plane, indigo on the horizontal plane, and green on the profile plane; each ray changes only the coordinate normal to that plane.

X = width · Y = height · Z = depth
Always confirm the projection symbol and project standard before interpreting view placement. Geometry, feature identity, and dimensional correspondence remain unchanged between first- and third-angle systems.
