Top view, Front View, Side viewA single shadow is a liar. A square shadow could belong to a cube, a long cuboid pointing directly at you, or even a square pyramid! Because 3D objects have 3 dimensions (Length, Width, Height) and a flat plane only has 2, one dimension is always hidden. To fix this, engineers always use Three Mutually Perpendicular Planes: Vertical Plane → Front View (Shows Height and Width) Horizontal Plane → Top View (Shows Length and Width) Side Plane → Side View (Shows Height and Length) Let’s see more examples Example 1 – 3 Different Line segmentExample 2 – Different Cuboid Stacked
