What is typically the first view presented in an orthographic projection?

In orthographic projection, the front view is typically the first view presented. This approach is standard because the front view provides a clear and straightforward representation of the most recognizable features of an object. This view often conveys important details about the dimensions, shape, and orientation of the object being depicted.

Additionally, starting with the front view allows anyone interpreting the drawing to easily understand the layout and structure before examining other views. The top and side views are secondary, serving to provide additional context and clarity to the design. This systematic arrangement facilitates communication among engineers, architects, and manufacturers by establishing a common point of reference. The back view is seldom used as the initial presentation because it often does not represent the primary characteristics of an object that users need to see first.
