Plane Surface
• A plane may be defined as a surface having length and breadth with
negligible thickness. The shape of surface is determined at least by any
three points which does not lie in a straight line.

True Shape of plane
• When a plane is held with its surface
parallel to one of the plane of projection,
the view of the plane surface will be in true
shape.

 PROCEDURE OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM:
IN THREE STEPS EACH PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED:( As Shown In Previous Illustration )
STEP 1. Assume suitable conditions & draw Fv & Tv of initial position.
STEP 2. Now consider surface inclination & draw 2nd Fv & Tv.
STEP 3. After this, consider side/edge inclination and draw 3rd ( final) Fv & Tv.

ASSUMPTIONS FOR INITIAL POSITION:

(Initial Position means assuming surface // to HP or VP)
1.If in problem surface is inclined to HP – assume it // HP
Or If surface is inclined to VP – assume it // to VP
2. Now if surface is assumed // to HP- It’s TV will show True Shape.
And If surface is assumed // to VP – It’s FV will show True Shape.
3. Hence begin with drawing TV or FV as True Shape.
4. While drawing this True Shape –
keep one side/edge ( which is making inclination) perpendicular to xy line
( similar to pair no. A on previous page illustration ).

Now Complete STEP 2. By making surface inclined to the resp. plane & project it’s other view.
(Ref. 2nd pair B on previous page illustration )

Now Complete STEP 3. By making side inclined to the resp. plane & project it’s other view.
(Ref. 3nd pair C on previous page illustration )

Ex. 9-2 : A regular hexagonal lamina of 28mm side is resting on HP on one of its sides such that the side is
perpendicular to the VP and the plane of the lamina is inclined to the HP at 450. the lamina is then rotated
through 900 so that the side on the HP becomes parallel to the VP, still keeping the angle of the plane of
the lamina with HP as 450. Draw the front and top views of the lamina held in its position.

breadth and thickness bounded by surfaces.

 STEPS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN SOLIDS
Problem is solved in three steps:
STEP 1: ASSUME SOLID STANDING ON THE PLANE WITH WHICH IT IS MAKING INCLINATION.
( IF IT IS INCLINED TO HP, ASSUME IT STANDING ON HP)
( IF IT IS INCLINED TO VP, ASSUME IT STANDING ON VP)
IF STANDING ON HP - IT’S TV WILL BE TRUE SHAPE OF IT’S BASE OR TOP:
IF STANDING ON VP - IT’S FV WILL BE TRUE SHAPE OF IT’S BASE OR TOP.
BEGIN WITH THIS VIEW:
IT’S OTHER VIEW WILL BE A RECTANGLE ( IF SOLID IS CYLINDER OR ONE OF THE PRISMS):
IT’S OTHER VIEW WILL BE A TRIANGLE ( IF SOLID IS CONE OR ONE OF THE PYRAMIDS):
DRAW FV & TV OF THAT SOLID IN STANDING POSITION:
STEP 2: CONSIDERING SOLID’S INCLINATION ( AXIS POSITION ) DRAW IT’S FV & TV.
STEP 3: IN LAST STEP, CONSIDERING REMAINING INCLINATION, DRAW IT’S FINAL FV & TV.
