Parallel projection {orthogonal projection, geometry} {orthographic projection, orthogonal} can have projection rays perpendicular to the plane. Orthogonal projection can be on horizontal plane {horizontal projection} {plan, projection}, vertical plane {elevation, projection}, or other planes {section, projection}. Plans {figured plan} can mark vertical distances from plane to figure.
Orthogonal projection {first angle projection} can be on bottom horizontal plane {plan projection, first angle}, back left vertical plane {front elevation, first angle}, and back right vertical plane {side elevation, first angle} {end elevation, first angle}. Front and plan are like looking into far lower corner from outside room.
Orthogonal projection {third angle projection} can be on top horizontal plane {plan projection, third angle}, front right vertical plane {front elevation, third angle}, and front left vertical plane {side elevation, third angle} {end elevation, third angle}. Front and plan projections are like looking into top front corner from outside room. This projection makes common edges closer and is usually better.
