Explain how a top view is developed.

What will be an ideal response?


To draw a top view, the draftsperson goes through a process similar to that required to obtain the front view. However, instead of looking squarely at the front of the object, the view is seen from a point directly above it. When the horizontal plane on which the top view is projected is rotated so that it is in a vertical plane, the front and top views are in their proper relationship. In other words, the top view is always placed immediately above and in line with the front view.
