The 3D graphic on the right shows a design for a podium for this year’s Olympic Games - Leaving Cert DCG - Question B-1 - 2012

Once the basic structure is in place, focus on adding any necessary internal lines and details that represent the design features, ensuring they correspond with the elevation view for consistency.

Next, draw the elevation of the podium by following the provided outline. Pay attention to the heights of different sections and ensure that they correspond accurately to the scaling from the plan.

Finalize the elevation by adding details that were not included in the initial drawing, such as line shading to depict the different surfaces.

Project the left-hand side elevation from the original plan ensuring the lines are perpendicular to the horizontal plane, letting the viewer see the left profile.

Identify key reference points on the left-hand side in the plan view that correspond to the sections previously drawn in the elevation.

Using the reference points, complete the left-hand side representation in the plan ensuring all lines are accurately represented and aligned.

From the right-hand side, initiate projections from the plan to enhance the understanding of the dimensions and angles present in the design.

Similar to the LHS, locate important points from the right-hand side elevation, clearly marking their positions relative to the other features.

Finalize the right-hand side elevation by connecting the located points with straight lines to give a complete representation of the podium.

Begin the end view by transferring the relevant widths obtained from the plan. Ensure width representation is clear and precise to maintain the integrity of the design.

Project the heights directly from the elevation view to define the vertical aspects of the podium in the end view accurately.

Draw the center prism of the podium, ensuring that proportions and perspectives align with the previously drawn views.

Finalize the end view by detailing any remaining lines and shapes needed to provide a clear view of the podium. Ensure that the presentation is neat and all sections are aligned properly.
