Notes on Solution for parallel lines:

*All the lines and plane are TL and TS in the middle view.
*You can easily determine the location of E
*You should determine the plane EFG are edge view on both auxiliary views adjacent
to the middle view (property of TS planes)
*AB and CD must be parallel to each othe in all views, this includes being parallel
to EV EFG in the views outside the middle view.
*It is not necessary that a leg of EFG is parallel in the middle view, EFG is
already TS in it, which means it would be parallel to any line that is in TL in
that plane.
*One of the legs of EFG must be equal to AB/CD regardless of its orientation.

Tips for the exam: make sure all conditions are satisfied, always review your
answer to make sure that the goals are met.

Notes on Solution for Geom Con:


*(sqrt2/2)P is just equal to the legs of a 45-45 isosceles triangle where P is the
hypotenuse.
*Unrectification of line involves pivoting (1/4) CY distance from Y
*J must be tangent to YZ at Z, to determine the center, extend the radius of arc YZ
passing thru Z,
then connect ponts Z and M (MZ is a chord of circle J) bisect this line and
its intersection with the extended rdius is the center of J
*Follow procedure on creating tangent line to a point to create ON
*To create circle K, first create a parallel line 1/3 P away from ON.
Then extend the radius of circle J by 1/3 P, arc this length outside J ntil
it inersects the parallel line.
The intersection is the center of circle J.
*To create DE, you may use the method on creating an externally tangent line from J
to K
Alternativeley, you can determine E. E is point if the centers of J and K are
connected and extended outside to intersect with ON.
You can then transfer the angle created by ON and the newly created angle
(JEN/KEN) on the upper side to create the tangent line DE. D is the point of
tangency at J.
*Follow procedures on creating a pentagon, just transfer 2/3 P at its midpoint to
the point of tangecy at K.
* To create point U, you can create an equilateral traingle with a horizontal leg
and Z as one of the vertex. Then divide the angle into 3 (60/3 = 20)
Note: it is better to use triangles rather than dividing the angle its slef
by dividing the chord into n segments. The error from this method may accumulate
and may result into inaccurate angles.
*V can be created by connecting U and Y (or any point in YZ) and bisecting it. The
intersection of the perpendicular bisector and the extension of the radius of YZ
should be the center of V.
*W is created by first extending a perpendicular line from the point of tangency at
side AY (P length away from A). The center lies in this line.
Then, create point G by extending a a certain length (radius of V) TOWARDS
the inside of the triangle from the point of tangency.
Connect points G and V, note that GV is a chord of a circle concentric with W
passing thru the center of V.
Create a perpendicular bisector and its intersection with the extended
perpendicular line with AY is the center of circle W.

Tips for the exam:


Know your triangles, be familiar with angles and associated lengths,
familiarize all methods taught in class regarding creating angles, polygons, arcs,
circles, tangent lines, etc.
Be accurate at all times, minor inaccuracies accumulated over time will
result to answers with a large margin of error.
Create LIGHT construction lines only - this would involve using better
sketching materials for the exam.
