Seeing a 3D solid in 2D

Cuboid with width, depth and height labelled, alongside plan, front elevation and side elevation showing shared measurements

Plans and elevations are flat, 2D orthographic views of a 3D solid, so there is no perspective. A plan is the view from directly above, a front elevation is from the front, and a side elevation is from the side.
