What are the eight steps for converting pictorials into multiviews using the point tracking method?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Step 1: On the pictorial, specify the viewing directions that you intend to create (e.g., front, top, right side, etc.) and create a sheet with areas reserved (and labeled) for the appropriate orthogonal views based on the projection method used.


Step 2: Find the maximum size of the object in each of the three directions of your coordinate system and in each view, sketch the limits of a rectilinear box that will contain only the entire object in all three directions.


Step 3: Define an anchor point.


Step 4: Locate a vertex adjacent to the anchor point and draw that edge.


Step 5: Successively locate other vertices and draw the edges between those vertices.


Step 6: Convert hidden lines.


Step 7: Add internal features.


Step 8: Check model validity.
