    Abstract

    We introduce various methods which are used to depict three-dimensional objects on two-dimensional surfaces. Many of these are artistic and not conducive to exact interpretation. Instead, the scientific and engineering practices and mathematics of orthographic projection are introduced, and illustrated in an accompanying interactive Excel workbook. The user may introduce his/her own objects to the workbook, and the resulting illustrations may be used as required. These projection methods are of developing interest and concern as publications increasingly include graphic illustrations of three-dimensional objects, and the principles behind their operations are worthy of consideration and understanding by both instructors and their students.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
