Multiview fundamentals: A standard multi-view drawing uses orthographic projections to show an object’s height, width, and depth across its principal views. Confirm this description of multi-view drawings.

Introduction / Context:
Engineering graphics relies on multi-view drawings to communicate complete three-dimensional geometry using a small set of two-dimensional orthographic views. This question checks whether you recognize that multi-view drawings represent the three principal dimensions: height, width, and depth.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• A typical set of principal views includes front, top (plan), and side (right or left).
• Views are orthographic (parallel projection), not perspective.
• Alignment rules maintain dimensional correspondence between views.

Concept / Approach:
Each principal view shows exactly two dimensions: front shows width and height; top shows width and depth; side shows height and depth. When combined, the set communicates all three dimensions unambiguously. This method avoids perspective distortion and supports accurate measurement and manufacturing.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Draw a simple rectangular block and lay out front, top, and side views. Annotate dimensions on each view. You will see that all three principal dimensions are captured across the views without redundancy or ambiguity.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Perspective sketches are pictorial and not the basis for multi-view working drawings.
• Omitting depth or restricting to a single view defeats the purpose of multi-view representation.
• Axonometric projections (isometric, dimetric) are different drawing types, not required for multi-view documentation.

Common Pitfalls:
Expecting a single view to contain all three dimensions; confusing pictorial methods with orthographic projection; misaligning views and losing dimension correspondence.

Final Answer:
Correct: multi-view drawings depict height, width, and depth via orthographic views
