What is orthographic view in SAP PLM-WUI-APP - PLM Web Applications?

SAP Term: orthographic view

• Component: PLM-WUI-APP

• Component Name: PLM Web Applications

• Description: A type of view that displays the scene from the selected viewpoint. Orthographic views are a type of parallel projection used for drawing engineering blueprints and is used for accurate description of objects and their positioning. Most 3D design relies on 2D representations or 'orthographic' views, for example, maps, plans, cross-sections, and elevations. In familiar terms, you might think of these views as 'flat' or 'straight-on', or as 'looking at right angles'. Orthographic views are two-dimensional, each defined by two world coordinate axes. Combinations of these axes produce three pairs of orthographic views: top and bottom; front and back; left and right.

• Key Concepts: 
  Orthographic view is a feature of the SAP PLM Web Applications component. It is a graphical representation of an object that shows its three-dimensional shape from different angles. It is used to visualize and analyze the object’s geometry and dimensions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the orthographic view, open the SAP PLM Web Applications component and select the object you want to view. Then, select the “Orthographic View” option from the menu. This will open a window with a 3D representation of the object from different angles. You can then use the controls to rotate, zoom in, and zoom out of the object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the orthographic view, it is important to remember that it only shows a 2D representation of a 3D object. Therefore, it is important to use other features such as measurements and annotations to get an accurate understanding of the object’s geometry and dimensions.
