                       3.2.1  Glass Box Approach

                              The  idea  of  orthographic  or  multi  view  drawing  comes  from  the  glass  box

                              approach. Imagine that is an object suspended by transparent threads inside a

                              glass box, then draw the object on each three faces as seen from the direction as

                              shown in the figure below.



































                                                 Figure 3.2 : Object in the glass box


                              Unfold the box and we will get the three views from the different directions

                              which is called orthographic or multi view drawing.
