Anorthographicprojectionis a blow-upview of a solid that showsa flat representationof eachof the figure’s
sides.A goodway to see how an orthographicprojectionworksis to constructone.The (non-convex)
polyhedronshownhas a differentprojectionon everyside.
To showthe figurein an orthographicview, placeit in an imaginarybox.
Now projectout to eachof the wallsof the box. Threeof the viewsare shownbelow.
