Explain the difference between a 2D drawing and a 3D drawing.

• A 2D drawing represents objects in two dimensions, while a 3D drawing represents objects in three dimensions.

• A 2D drawing is more detailed than a 3D drawing.

• A 3D drawing is always created using computer software, while a 2D drawing is always hand-drawn.

• A 2D drawing can be viewed from any angle, while a 3D drawing cannot.
