Wire-frame Model - Use of Wireframe Model

Use of Wireframe Model

1. Viewing the model from any desired point-This can be obtained by changing line of sight.
2. To produce standard orthographic and auxiliary views:-Orthographic views are created by changing the line of sight so that it is perpendicular to the front, top and profile faces of the model for creating front view(elevation),top view(plan) and side view respectively. After the orthographic views are created, they must be edited to remove extraneous lines and to add hidden and centre lines so the drawing conforms with the standards.
3. To produce exploded and perspective view more easily.
4. To analyse distances within the structure and checking tolerances and interference.
5. To decrease number of prototypes required.
6. Editing the model:-Some CAD systems can automatically remove hidden lines using a command called hide.
