1. OBLIQUE VIEWS

2. Oblique Projection Oblique views are one of the forms of 3D views that you need to know about in the Standard Grade Graphic Communication course. This type of drawing shows the length, breadth, and height of the object being drawn. An Oblique view is drawn with the front surface of the object closest to the viewer. One of the advantages of using Oblique views is that any circles or curves facing the front of the object can be drawn accurately using compasses.

3. Oblique Projection The depth of the view can be drawn at full size (cavalier projection) or the view can be drawn at half size (cabinet projection). The advantage of using Cabinet Projection is that the view looks more realistic than Cavalier Projection which can look distorted. Cavalier Projection Cabinet Projection In the Standard Grade Graphic Communication course you will only be asked to draw Oblique Views in Cabinet Projection, therefore it would make sense to use this type of projection at all times.

4. Oblique Projection If you are sitting an SQA Graphic Communication exam, there is a good chance that you will be asked to draw an Oblique View in the General exam. This type of drawing has been included in the final paper for the past four years. The drawing included in the exams have always included circles or curves on the front surface.
