Understanding how to draw prisms orthographically is an important skill for any designer or engineer. It is also important to understand how to create a 'net' or 'surface development' of various prisms.
The techniques used for creating drawings manually or with 2D CAD are different for those using 3D CAD. We would recommend experiencing both approaches, to fully understand the geometry. In this series of worksheets you can practice the various techniques used to create orthographic views and surface developments. |

Packaging comes in all shapes and sizes. Designers must use their understanding of geometry to create forms and place graphics on the correct surfaces.
In this tricky task, you must create thumbnail graphics on the correct surfaces of both the surface development and the orthographic elevations |
