Interested in carpentry? Want to build that perfect wilderness cabin? The Internet has many web pages that feature detailed plans. Most sites include exploded views—three-dimensional drawings that illustrate construction down to the smallest detail. Exploded views complement written instructions and are essential in understanding designs, not only for home construction but also for assembling modular furniture, repairing your bicycle, or ordering parts for your vehicle.

 

In this section you will explore the many applications of exploded views. You will also interpret and sketch exploded-view diagrams.
