by the normals from the object onto the plane.          


*Drawing orthogonal projections

To draw the orthogonal projection of a given object on a plane :

(b) Join all the points on the plane.

     The diagram below shows the orthogonal projection of the given prism on a vertical plane as viewed from X.

   The length of the edges AB , BF , FE and AE of the object are equal to that of the orthogonal 
    projection as these edges are parallel to the vertical plane.

The edges FB and GC of the object are different from that of the orthogonal projection , as these edges are not parallel to the plane of the orthogonal projection.
ABF and BFE of the object are also different from that of the orthogonal projection.
