In a general sense, a drawing consists of different views of a specific object. Each of the views can give us a deep insight into the shape of the object. As views are also indicated with lines, there is a lot of common knowledge between lines and views. We will look at the most common views at this level and how we can interpret them. We will briefly discuss auxiliary views, section views, detail views, broken-out section views, and crop views.

To investigate all the views, we will examine them using the following model:

Using the model, we will explore the following views: 

• Orthogonal views
• Auxiliary views
• Section views
• Detail views
• Break-out section views
• Crop views

For each view, we will define its purpose and highlight how it looks in relation to the preceding model.
