Greenfaulds High School Oblique Views

Oblique views are a type of pictorial view. They show an object from the front with all depths at an angle of 45°. These depths are also drawn at half their actual size.

Oblique Views An oblique view of a shape is shown below. The next few slides will show you how to draw it.

Oblique Views ElevationEnd Elevation Plan Here the orthographic views of the object are shown. D

Oblique Views Start the oblique drawing by redrawing the elevation full size.

Oblique Views Now draw in the construction for the depths of the object. All depths are drawn at 45°.

Oblique Views Now mark on the sizes of the depths of the object. All depths are dimensioned 1 / 2 actual size. 1 / 2 D

Oblique Views Now we will get rid of the projection lines to see the drawing more easily. The depths for the square boxes have been drawn but now we need to add the front depth.

Oblique Views If you haven’t done so already, draw the centrelines for the circle on your drawing.

Oblique Views Use your 45° set square again and project a line forward.

Oblique Views Mark on the depth at 1/2 the length as before.

Oblique Views Draw centrelines at this point.

Oblique Views Using a compass draw the circle from this new centrepoint.

Oblique Views Now join the outsides of the two circles to complete this part.

Oblique Views Rub out any lines you would not see.

Oblique Views This is the final shape you are left with.
