Question 11

What is the fundamental difference between a first-angle projection and a third-angle projection?

Accepted Answer

In first-angle, the object is between the observer and the projection plane, while in third-angle, it's behind.

Answer

First-angle projections are used in the UK, while third-angle projections are used in the US.

Answer

Third-angle projections show the object in its actual size, unlike first-angle projections.

Answer

First-angle projections are more common in engineering, while third-angle projections are used in architecture.
