Constructing Shapes from Mat Plans

Being able to represent the shape of a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface is very

important as it allows others to interpret the object’s shape. This information can then be used to

construct the object. Although not used in industry, mat plans are one of the simplest methods to

represent three-dimensional objects. They are ideal in developing a spatial awareness; however, they

have limitations which you will discover as you proceed through the following exercises.

1. Construct the building illustrated in the mat plan below using cube-a-links.

Orient your building correctly on the building mat provided. Turn the building mat so that you can look

at the front, back, left, or right side of your building straight on. You should see a 2-D pattern of squares.

Decide which side of the building (front, back, right, left, or top) matches each of the diagrams below.

Constructing 3-view Orthographic Projections from Mat Plans

1. Shown below is the right side view of a cube building. Draw the left side view. Confirm

the accuracy of your drawing using cube-a-links.

2. Use the mat plan below to construct the building on a building mat. Draw the top, front,

and right views (3-view orthographic) .

Note: To assist in drawing these views for the first time, it may be helpful to tape three pieces of transparency

sheets together to form three sides (front, top, and right side view) of a cube. The construction can then be

placed neatly against the inside corner of the transparency to allow the three views to be drawn and

labelled. Once complete, remove the tape holding the transparency together to provide you with the three

views on a flat, two-dimensional, surface.

3. Use the mat plans below to construct the buildings on a building mat. Draw the top,

front, and right views (3-view orthographic) for each building.a) b) c)

6. On a building mat, use the mat plan below to construct a cube building.

Match the building constructed from the mat plan above to one of the three sets of 3-view

orthographic drawings below.

7. Use cube-a-links and the provided mat plans to build each of the 5 buildings. Place each

building on a building mat and write the letter of the building in front of the building.

When all buildings have been constructed, match each building with one of the sets of

3-view orthographic drawings on the following page. Justify each match in writing.

Constructing Isometric Drawings from Mat Plans

Isometric drawing are an excellent way to represent three-dimensional objects because, unlike

mat plans and orthographic projections, they give the illusion of three-dimensionality.

1. Using isometric paper, construct an isometric drawing for each of the following mat plans:

2. Use the isometric drawing tool at

http://illuminations.nctm.org/tools/isometric/isometric.asp#ft to draw an isometric

drawing of each mat plan above.

( Hint: Viewing Isometric Drawings on this website...when you are looking up and to the left you are

seeing the front view; when you are looking up and to the right you are seeing the right side view.) Use

the “eye” icon to check the mat plan and the top-front-right side orthographic views for agreement).

Matching Isometric Drawings with Mat Plans

1. Which of the following is not a corner view of the building represented by the mat plan?

2. On a building mat, build a cube model of each of the following three buildings.

Identify which building is represented by each of the corner views (left front, front right,

back left, and right back) illustrated in isometric drawings A- L.

3. Which corner of this building was the artist viewing to make the drawing at the right?

Combining Isometric Drawings

1. Which of these buildings can be made from the two basic shapes given?

2. Using cube models, show how the two basic shapes can be put together to make each of

the buildings shown below?

Hidden-View Lines and 3-View Orthographic Projections

Hidden-view lines are represented by broken line segments on an orthographic projection. Unlike

solid object lines, hidden-view lines allow an orthographic projection to represent the edges of

voids (hollow spaces) of an object that is not visible by the face being viewed.

To assist in visualizing these objects it may be useful to use cube models to represent their shape

Draw in the missing object lines or hidden-view lines on the orthographic projection.

Enrichment

The following problems involve slanting surfaces and are considered to be very challenging. To

assist in visualizing these objects it may be useful to use malleable materials, as opposed to rigid

cube models, to represent their shape
