In engineering and manufacturing, precision is everything. Communicating the exact dimensions, geometry, and relationships of a part requires a standardized method of drawing. Third Angle Projection (TAP) is the most widely used type of view layout for engineering drawings in the United States by a long shot. It is a standardized system of orthographic projection that allows engineers and designers to represent a three-dimensional object in two dimensions, showing multiple views of the same component in a clear, consistent, and easy-to-read format.
