What is orthographic representation?

Orthographic representation refers to the depiction of an object or scene in a way that accurately conveys its dimensions and spatial relationships, typically using a two-dimensional plane. This method is commonly employed in technical drawing and architectural design, where multiple views (such as top, front, and side) are used to provide a comprehensive understanding of the object's form. Unlike perspective drawing, orthographic representation maintains constant scale and does not incorporate vanishing points, ensuring that measurements are precise and clear.
