Remember:
- Orthographic projection helps engineers communicate ideas clearly.
- It allows someone else to build, analyze, or manufacture an object without seeing the original.
- Clear drawings reduce confusion and improve accuracy.
Look again at the front view. Where is the rounded portion of the object?
