The document discusses exploded views and their use in understanding how objects are constructed from individual pieces. An exploded view drawings each piece of an object separately in its relative position, allowing one to see how the pieces fit together. The document provides examples of exploded views and instructions on drawing the views from component diagrams and vice versa. It also discusses constituent part diagrams, which similarly identify individual pieces but sketches them in 2D rather than separating them as in an exploded view.

1. Exploded Views In order to construct an object, you have to know how many pieces make up the object and how these pieces fit together. An exploded view provides you with this information. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

2. Exploded Views In an exploded view of an object, you can accomplish this by drawing each individual piece of the object separately and placing it in its relative position to the other pieces of the object. This is known as the exploded view of an object. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

3. Exploded Views In order to familiarize you with exploded views, in the first two examples of this lesson, you are given exploded views and asked to draw oblique (3 D drawings) projections. In the last two examples of this lesson, you are given oblique projections and asked to draw exploded views. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

4. Exploded Views Example 1 The following diagram is an object in exploded format. What type of object is this? Draw an oblique projection of this object. If the exploded view is drawn to a scale of 1 in : 1 ft, find the actual dimensions of the object. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

5. Exploded Views Example 2 The following is a diagram of an object in exploded format. What type of object is this? Draw an oblique projection of this object. If the exploded view is drawn to a scale of 1 in : 1 ft, find the actual dimensions of the object. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

6. Exploded Views Example 3 Draw an exploded diagram of the following cube. Use a ruler, pencil and 1/4 in graph paper. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

7. Exploded Views Example 4 Draw the exploded view of the following bookshelf. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

8. Component (Constituent) Parts Similar to the exploded representation of an object, a constituent parts representation identifies the individual pieces of an object. However, unlike the exploded representation of an object, a constituent parts representation sketches the individual pieces in two dimensions. In a constituent parts diagram, pieces with the same dimensions are only drawn once. Unit 2 – Design & Measurement

9. Component (Constituent) Parts In order to represent an object in its constituent parts, it is helpful to have it in exploded format. Consider Unit 2 – Design & Measurement
