Practice Orthographic Drawing

It is important to understand the basics - orthographic projection is the backbone of all technical drawing in every industry.
In this section, we refresh our skills with orthographic sketching and drawing, with some more challenging primitives.

Practice Sectional Drawing

Sectional views are an important technique used by designers and engineers to convey complex technical information.

You should be comfortable with simple linear-sections. In this topic of learning, you will learn revolved-section, stepped-sections and partial sectional views. Mastering these technical views can help you convey vastly more information to your audience.
