Change of position method, 2. Auxiliary plane method or change of reference line method. 1. Change of Position Method This method involves two steps to draw the projections of a solid which is kept in this position. Step 1: Assume the axis of the solid is kept perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP. Draw its top view which has the true shape and size of the base and the front view is projected and obtained. 198 Computer Aided Engineering Graphics (JNTU) EEE Step 2: The shape and size obtained in the front view is tilted and reproduced (0 the given inclination of the axis with HP, ie, to XY line. Note that when the position of the solid is changed without changing its inclination with VP the shape and size of the front view obtained in step 1 remains unchanged. Project the front view to get the top view of the solid. 2. Auxiliary Plane Method An Auxiliary Inclined Plane (AIP) or Auxiliary Vertical Plane (AVP) can be used to draw the projections which will be discussed in example problems. Top view of the solid is projected onto AIP and the front view is projected onto AVP. Example. A hexagonal prism of base side 30 mm axis length 60 mm is resting on HP on one of its base sides with its axis inclined at 40° to HP and parallel to VP. Draw its projections.

Jo draw the front and top views in Step 2 1. Tilt and reproduce the front view of the prism with its axis inclined at 40° to XY line and a base side on XY line (To reproduce the front view with the axis at 40° to XY and a base side on XY line, draw a line at 50° to XY (90°— 40° = 50°) to mark the bottom base of the solid because the bottom base and the axis are at right angles] and the rectangular shape is reproduced. . Project the top view by drawing vertical lines (Projectors) from aj, bj, etc., and horizontal lines (loci) from a, b, etc., to get the intersection points a, bj, etc., as the top base corners. Similarly the bottom base comers p,, q,, r1, ¢tc., are obtained. . Join the top base edges a,b, b,c, etc., and are visible. Bottom base edges p,q), Pity and u4t,, are visible and q,r;, 745, and s,t, are invisible. 4, Draw the visible longer edges a,p,, b,4,, €,¢, and f,, with continuous lines and invisible edges c,r, and d,s, with dashed lines, these are partially coincide with the visible edges and the top view is completed. Pp rey Tips to mark visible and invisible edges (1) The portion of the solid in front of the axis in top view is visible in front view and the portion behind the axis is invisible. The base cortiers, base edges and longer edges marked on and in front of the axis of the solid in top view are always visible in front view. (2) Edges or sides drawn as an outer boundary edges of top or front view are always visible. eke _sebtatncedicta, Saris sip Seth ae 200 Computer. i od Method II: Auxiliary plane method or change of reference line meth Figure 8.33 To draw the top and front views in step 1 1. Assume that the axis is perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP. The top view of the prism is drawn which is a regular hexagon with a side taken perpendicular to XY line. Only then the side is seen as a point in the front view and the auxiliary plane can be drawn passing through that point to represent the base side on HP. . Top base comers a, b, c, etc., and bottom base corners p, gq, r, etc., are marked in top view. 3. Project the bottom base corner p’, q’, 1’, etc., on XY line and the top base corners @’, b,c, etc., at a height of 60 mm from XY line. 4. Join the visible and invisible longer edges in front view. nN To draw the top view in step 2 1, Consider an auxiliary inclined plane (AIP) at an angle 40° to the axis to get the e view of the prism. Draw an auxiliary reference line at 40° to axis and passing 5 aa the bottom base side r’(s)’ which is seen as a point in the front view. - Draw projectors thi {Be ng’ i vend ey; fee rough a’, b’, c’, etc., and p’, q’, etc., which are perpendicular to 3.

(3) At the beginning, it may be easier to draw the projections using change of position method than the auxiliary plane method. Visualising and imagining the solid in the given position and marking the visible and invisible edges are very convenient in change of position method. So the users may practice change of position method at the beginning stage, and later follow auxiliary plane method which is a less time consuming method when compared to the change of position method. an A hexagonal pyramid of base side 30 mm and axis length 60 mm is resting on HP on one of its base corners with its axis inclined at 35° to HP.
