Standard Order of Views-Multi Views
In technical drawing and computer graphics, a Standard Order of Views is a technique of illustration by which a standardized series of orthographic two-dimensional pictures is constructed to represent the form of a three-dimensional object.
Orthographic projection of a single view of an object (such as a view of the front) onto a drawing surface in which the lines of projection are perpendicular to the drawing surface
Orthographic projection is also the representation of related views of an object as if they were all in the same plane and projected by orthographic projection
Multi-View Sketching
When you are creating a multi-view sketch you will create multiple sketches of more than one side of an object. If we can visualize a 3D cube you will be able sketch the size standard sides. Front, Top, Right side, Left side, Back and Bottom. While the cube has three dimensions the sides of the cube will only have two dimensions. If you look at example 1 below you will see we start with a 3 dimensional cube. As we move to the right we unfold the cube so that it is completely flat and we can see all six sides. This is unfolding of the cube produces a set standard order of views.
