What is the key difference between first angle and third angle orthographic projection?

Orientation of views
Number of views
Types of dimensioning used
Complexity of the drawing

The correct answer is: Orientation of views

The key difference between first angle and third angle orthographic projection lies in the orientation of views. In first angle projection, the object is positioned in front of the viewing plane, which means that the top view is placed below the front view, and the right-side view is shown to the left of the front view. This method is commonly used in Europe and many other parts of the world. In contrast, third angle projection positions the object behind the viewing plane. Consequently, the top view is placed above the front view, and the right-side view appears to the right of the front view. Third angle projection is primarily used in the United States and parts of Canada. Understanding the orientation of views is crucial for accurately interpreting and creating technical drawings, as it affects how dimensions and spatial relationships are represented.
