Difference between first and third angle projection

Question

Accepted Answer

First angle projection is commonly used in Europe and Asia, while third angle projection is commonly used in North America.

First angle projection places the object in the first quadrant, with the front view above the top view and the right view to the left of the front view.
Third angle projection places the object in the third quadrant, with the front view below the top view and the right view to the right of the front view.
First angle projection is more intuitive for visualizing the object in 3D space, while third angle projection is more common in engineering drawings in North America.
Understanding both types of projection is important for interpreting engineering drawings accurately.
