PRESENTATION ELEMENTS
A single drawing cannot fully explain adesign. Only
through a coordinated presentation of related drawings
can the three-dimensional form and character of a design
be communicated. To explain and clarify aspect s that are
beyond the capability of the drawings, we resort to
diagrams, graphic symbols, titles, and text. In any design
presentation, therefore, we should carefully plan the
sequence and arrangement of all of the following
elements:
