This paper presents the main contributions of the research group Virtual Design (ViD) to the learning process of Descriptive Geometry (DG) in line with the principles of design-based learning. First, the paper presents the theoretical framework that bases the main ViD initiatives applied to the learning of DG, including design-based learning and physical and virtual modelling. The initiatives presented include a learning cycle based on concrete and virtual experiences in the design context. These initiatives that feed the learning of DG are the result of academic research of the Virtual Design research group, also involving Masters and PhD projects, with repercussions on the development of new methods, new technologies and new products, and the quality of education.

This work present axonometric and orthographic views to learning of Descriptive Geometry concepts. Axonometric views are a good way to show the utility of successive auxiliary views because they present the process and promote the 3D comprehension of objects. The paper proposes ways to build axonometric projections from any point of view by Descriptive Geometry tools. Besides, the use of the principal views enhances the understanding of successive auxiliary views, but in a more complex context where the student must choose directions to find the correct projections. Through these directions, you can choose the sequence of auxiliary planes that result in orthographic views. This work shows how two unusual concepts in the Descriptive Geometry education context can promote a better understanding of many of its contents.
