Itaqui Seeing things from a certain point of View
Not sure what kind of view you need to call it? Here are some definitions of some of the type of views we use when creating Patent Drawings.
http://marionjensen.com/2009/05 Oblique View – An Oblique View is a type of parallel projection. It is designed to show a three dimensional view of an object. The width of the object will still be drawn as a horizontal line, but the depth can be drawn back at any angle. This not a true 3D View.
Isometric View – An Isometric View is a pictorial view of a three-dimensional object. There are usually three isoplanes in an isometric drawing: top, right, and left. These isoplanes are created by angles which are 30 degrees from the horizontal. These type of views are relatively easy for an illustrator to create. This not a true 3D View.
Perspective View – A Perspective View is the appearance of objects in depth as perceived by the eye. Each side or iosplane will taper to a vanishing point. A characteristic feature of a perspective view is that objects are drawn smaller as their distance from the observer increases. These type of views are more difficult for the illustrator to create but are more realistic looking and are true 3D views.
These three views are always confused with each other. All three give a 3D appearance, but there really is a big difference between them as you can see by our sample drawings.
Other Views used in Patent Applications.
Top View – This View shows the top the object.
Bottom View – This View shows the bottom the object.
Side View – This View shows the left and right sides of the object.
Exploded View – a representative picture or diagram that shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space.
Plan View – or “planform” is defined as a vertical orthographic projection of an object on a horizontal plane, like a map.
Elevated View – how the object will look when seen from a side, or a “cross section” where the building is shown cut along an axis to reveal the interior.
Plan View and Elevated View are Architectural Terms and sometimes get confused in Patent Drawing Applications – for the most part this terminology should be avoided if possible.
