  Key Concepts: 
  Orthographic projection is a type of projection used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to create 2D images from 3D models. It is a form of parallel projection, where all the projection lines are parallel to each other. This type of projection is used to create technical drawings, as it allows for precise measurements and angles to be taken from the 3D model. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Visual Enterprise, orthographic projection can be used to create 2D images from 3D models. To do this, the user must first select the type of projection they want to use (orthographic or perspective). Then, they must select the view they want to project (top, front, side, etc.). Finally, they can adjust the scale and orientation of the projection before creating the 2D image. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using orthographic projection in SAP Visual Enterprise, it is important to remember that all measurements and angles taken from the 2D image will be exact representations of those in the 3D model. This makes it ideal for creating technical drawings and other precise measurements.
