PROJECTION OF PLANES

DEFINITION

Plane figures or surfaces have only two dimensions: length and breadth.

They dont have thickness.

PLANES UNDER STUDY

TYPES OF PLANES

Perpendicular Planes
Perpendicular to both the reference planes. Perpendicular to one reference plane and

parallel to other
Perpendicular to one plane and inclined to the other

Oblique Planes
Planes which are inclined to both the reference planes

PERPENDICULAR PLANES
Plane perpendicular to both the reference planes

PERPENDICULAR PLANES
Plane parallel to one reference plane and perpendicular to other If it is parallel to HP, true shape of the surface will be in the TV

If it is parallel to VP, true shape of the surface will

be in the FV.

PERPENDICULAR PLANES
Inclined Planes

OBLIQUE PLANES
It is also defined as a plane surface which is inclined to

one reference plane and an edge/diameter/diagonal is

inclined to another reference plane.

PROJECTION OF OBLIQUE PLANES

Assumption stage (T.S. Stage)

Assume plane surface parallel to that reference plane to which it is inclined and draw the true shape of the surface with the inclined edge perpendicular to the xy line, if the plane is resting on one of its edge
If resting on one corner - draw the true shape of the plane surface such that the line joining that corner and center of the plane is parallel to x-y line.

Surface inclination stage

Rotate the line view of the surface through required inclination.

Edge/Diagonal/Diameter inclination
Edge/Diagonal/Diameter of the apparent shape is inclined through required inclination

PROJECTION OF OBLIQUE PLANES

EXAMPLE 1
A rectangular plate of negligible thickness having 150 mm length and 100 mm width is resting on one of its smaller side on HP. The surface is perpendicular to VP and makes an inclination of 30o to HP. Draw projections of the plate.

EXAMPLE 2
A pentagonal plate of negligible thickness and having edge length 100 mm is resting on one of its corners on VP. The plate is inclined 400 to VP and perpendicular to HP. Draw projections of the plate.

EXAMPLE 3
A circular plate is resting on its circumferential point on VP with surface perpendicular to HP. It is inclined to VP such that FV appears as an ellipse. Find the surface inclination at which the ellipse has minor axis 100 mm and major axis 150 mm.

EXAMPLE 4
A rectangular plate of negligible thickness having 150 mm length and 100 mm width is resting on one of its smaller side on HP. The surface makes an inclination of 300 to HP and the smaller side makes an inclination of 600 to VP. Draw projections of the plate.
