SYSTEM OF PROJECTION SYSTEM OF PROJECTION

A plane of projection (POP) is a plane on which a particular

view is projected.
Three such planes, perpendicular to each other, are called
principal planes or reference planes (RP).
 When the observer looks at the object from the front, the
view obtained is called the front view or elevation and is
seen on the vertical plane (VP)/ frontal plane (FP).

 When the observer looks at the object from above, the view
obtained is called top view or plan and is seen on the
horizontal plane (HP).
 When the observer looks at the object from side, i.e., from
his left-hand side or right-hand side, the view obtained is
called side view and is seen on the profile plane (PP).

SYSTEM OF PROJECTION SYSTEM OF PROJECTION

First Angle Projection: the object is placed in the first
quadrant. This means that the Vertical Plane is behind the
object and the Horizontal Plane is underneath the object.

 The object lies in between the observer and the planes

of projection.

Third Angle Projection: The Object is placed in the Third

Quadrant. This means that the Vertical Plane is in front of
the object and the Horizontal Plane is above the object.

 The Plane of projection lie between the object and the

observer.
