good website to help with MANUAL renderings, perspectives and layouts?

Hey all, I recently joined this forum and find it extremely helpful for

a newcomer like me to Autocad 2010. In my first year of architectural

studies I've had to construct renderings of perspectives, isometrics, plans, sections and elevations manually. My prof was not very helpful during the time and hence am not doing to well in that area. I wondered if any of you knew any websites that would help me with this. V.

Hey Tankman, the website you suggested was helpful when constructing on Autocad. I was thinking more along the lines of constructing the various orthogonal projections on the physical drawing board.

Welcome to the CADTutor forum Vikita. You're looking for help with manually drafting projections? Any good drafting / design book should have all the information you need or you can search for this information on line. Where are you located by the way?

I'm in Dubai. Yes, I am looking for manually drafting projections, I don't seem to find a website that does that, if you know of any that would be great.

First angle orthographic projection as it is done here in the U.S.:

I believe the Brits use third angle orthographic projection.

Vikita try this link http://www.tpub.com/engbas/5.htm.

Might this help?
