AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenge of visualizing the orthogonal view of a 3-D object, particularly due to its continuous surface in the front view. Participants confirm that there are rectangular blocks protruding from the object, which complicates the visualization. One user expresses difficulty in understanding the back view without a right-side perspective, but another confirms that their drawing aligns with the expected views. The conversation highlights the complexity of interpreting 3-D shapes from limited 2-D views. Overall, the exchange emphasizes the importance of accurate representation in technical drawings.

I'm having a hard time envisioning what the orthogonal view of this object in 3-D. It is mainly because of the continuous surface on the front view. Is that way in the back and the there are rectangular blocks sticking out? Thank you. I would have an easier time if a right view was included but there are the only two views.

Yes, exactly. Very good, Matriculator. There are rectangular blocks sticking out.

It is complicated and tricky.

I didn't build this to scale is it something like this?

When I display the views in SW they seem to match up. But I still think that it's still be a bit too convoluted to be that.

Thank you very much sir. I spent hours thinking about this.

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water.

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
