orthographic projection

1. (Engineering / General Engineering) a style of engineering drawing in which true dimensions are represented as if projected from infinity on three planes perpendicular to each other, avoiding the effects of perspective

2. (Earth Sciences / Physical Geography) a type of zenithal map projection in which the area is mapped as if projected from infinity, with resulting distortion of scale away from the centre

orthographic projection

a rendering of an object or floor plan of a building in scale as viewed perpendicularly from above. Cf. isometric projection.
