gbradley Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Is there a common practice to show different levels of a part when looking straight down on it? Hatching doesn't seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Are you thinking an edge that is higher than another should be shown using thicker lines? Isn't hatching usually reserved for sections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbradley Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I was wondering if there is a standard way to show that one part of an object is raised above another part in a 2D representation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 IMHO, it's unnecessary. You could use spot elevations (annotation). Mark the top or bottom as "0" and then do relative elevations, but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbradley Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I want to make sure that they make the part on the left, not the part on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 It's a much better idea to have different views than to try and squeeze that information into a plan view. A 3D/isometric view accompanied by a couple of sections with that plan view should get you an accurate part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Three view drawing. Top View. Front View. Side View. Then, if there are still details unseen, another Side View, and even maybe a Section View. It's been the accepted standard since the pyramids were designed.
