“PROJECTION OF PLANES”

PLANE

Plane figures/surfaces have only two dimensions i.e. length and


width. It has negligible thickness.

A plane is formed when any three non-collinear points are joined.


TYPES OF PLANE FIGURES

SQUARE RECTANGLE TRIANGLE

CIRCLE TRAPEZOID PARALLELOGRAM

PENTAGON HEXAGON DIAMOND


TYPES OF PLANES

1) Perpendicular Planes
Planes which are perpendicular to one of the principal planes of
projection and inclined or parallel to the other

2) Oblique Planes
Planes inclined to both the reference planes
TRACE OF PLANES

Horizontal Trace
The intersection line of the plane surface with H.P

Vertical Trace
The intersection line of the plane surface with V.P
PROJECTION OF PLANES

If a plane surface is held parallel to a plane of projection, so that it


will be perpendicular to other two planes of projections:

The view of the plane surface, projected on the plane of


projection to which it is perpendicular, will be a line, called line view
of plane surface.

The view of the plane surface, projected on the plane of


projection to which it is parallel, will be in true shape because all
the sides of the plane surface will be parallel to that plane of
projection.
a) Projection Of Plane PERPENDICULAR to V.P and PARALLEL to H.P
EXAMPLE:-
An equilateral triangle ABC of 50 mm side has its plane parallel to H.P
and side AB parallel to V.P Draw its projections when the corner C is 15
mm above H.P and 45 mm in front of the V.P
b) Projection of plane Perpendicular to H.P and Parallel to V.P
EXAMPLE:-
An equilateral triangle ABC of 50 mm side is parallel to and 15 mm in
front of V.P, its base AB is parallel to and 75 mm above H.P, Draw the
projections of the triangle when the corner is near the H.P
C) Projection of plane Perpendicular to both H.P and V.P
EXAMPLE:-
A semicircle of diameter, CD = 50 is kept in the 1st quadrant such that
its diameter is perpendicular to V.P and H.P, Draw its projections, when
the diameter is near V.P, distance of diameter from H.P is 15 mm and
from V.P is 20
d) Projection of plane Perpendicular to V.P and Inclined to H.P
EXAMPLE:-
A thin horizontal plate of 15 mm sides is inclined at 45° to the H.P and
perpendicular to V.P, two of its parallel edges is parallel to V.P, the
plate is 10 mm above H.P and 15 mm infront of V.P
e) Projection of plane Perpendicular to H.P and Inclined to V.P
EXAMPLE:-
Draw the projections of a circular plane of 30 mm diameter. The plane
is inclined a an angle of 45° to V.P
PROJECTION OF OBLIQUE PLANES

When the plane is inclined to both the reference planes, its


projections are drawn in three stages

First stage, the plane is assumed to be parallel to H.P

Second stage, it is tilted so as to make the required angle with the


H.P, its Front View in this position will be a line while its Top View
will be smaller is size

Third stage, the plane is turned to the required inclination with the
V.P, only the position of the Top View will alter.
Its shape and size will not be affected

EXAMPLE:-
Draw the projections of a regular hexagon of 20 mm side, having one
of its sides in the H.P and inclined at 45° to the V.P; and its surface
making an angle of 30° with the H.P
