Which pictorial represents height, width, and depth at full scale?

• A. Cabinet Pictorial
• B. Cavalier Pictorial
• C. Orthographic Projection
• D. Hidden Line

Answer: (B)

In an oblique pictorial, one face lies parallel to the projection plane, so height and width appear in true size, while depth is drawn at an angle. The cavalier method keeps the depth dimension at full length, so you see the object’s depth without any foreshortening. That makes it the best choice when the goal is to represent height, width, and depth at true scale. The cabinet method shortens depth to half-scale, so it isn’t full size. Orthographic projection isn’t a pictorial view at all but a set of flat views, and hidden line refers to a type of line used to show features not visible, not a pictorial representation.
