The elevation obtained by looking straight at the solid from a stated side, commonly the right or left.
Revise: Plans and ElevationsA front elevation is the view directly from the stated front, and a side elevation is the view directly from the stated side. These are orthographic projections: depth in the viewing direction is flattened, and distant parts are not drawn smaller.
Check a proposed 3D shape by projecting it back into a plan, front elevation and side elevation. All the given views must match.
Keep corresponding dimensions aligned: plan and front elevation share width; plan and side elevation share depth; both elevations share height.
