TO DRAW PROJECTIONS OF ANY OBJECT,
ONE MUST HAVE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
A) OBJECT
{ WITH IT’S DESCRIPTION, WELL DEFINED.}
B) OBSERVER
{ ALWAYS OBSERVING PERPENDICULAR TO RESP. REF.PLANE}.
C) LOCATION OF OBJECT,
{ MEANS IT’S POSITION WITH REFFERENCE TO H.P. & V.P.}
TERMS ‘ABOVE’ & ‘BELOW’ WITH RESPECTIVE TO H.P.
AND TERMS ‘INFRONT’ & ‘BEHIND’ WITH RESPECTIVE TO V.P
FORM 4 QUADRANTS.
OBJECTS CAN BE PLACED IN ANY ONE OF THESE 4 QUADRANTS.
IT IS INTERESTING TO LEARN THE EFFECT ON THE POSITIONS OF VIEWS ( FV, TV )
OF THE OBJECT WITH RESP. TO X-Y LINE, WHEN PLACED IN DIFFERENT QUADRANTS.
ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS
OF POINTS, LINES, PLANES, AND SOLIDS.
STUDY ILLUSTRATIONS GIVEN ON HEXT PAGES AND NOTE THE RESULTS.TO MAKE IT EASY
HERE A POINT A IS TAKEN AS AN OBJECT. BECAUSE IT’S ALL VIEWS ARE JUST POINTS.

NOTATIONS
FOLLOWING NOTATIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHILE NAMEING
DIFFERENT VIEWS IN ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS.

Point A is
Placed In
different
quadrants
and it’s Fv & Tv
are brought in
same plane for
Observer to see
clearly.
Fv is visible as
it is a view on
VP. But as Tv is
is a view on Hp,
it is rotated
downward 900,
In clockwise
direction.The
In front part of
Hp comes below
xy line and the
part behind Vp
comes above.
Observe and
note the
process.

FV & TV of a point always lie in the same vertical line
FV of a point ‘P’ is represented by p’. It shows position of the point
with respect to HP.
If the point lies above HP, p’ lies above the XY line.
If the point lies in the HP, p’ lies on the XY line.
If the point lies below the HP, p’ lies below the XY line.
TV of a point ‘P’ is represented by p. It shows position of the point with
respect to VP.
If the point lies in front of VP, p lies below the XY line.
If the point lies in the VP, p lies on the XY line.
If the point lies behind the VP, p lies below the XY line.

Note These Facts:-
Both Fv & Tv are inclined to xy.
(No view is parallel to xy)
Both Fv & Tv are reduced lengths.
(No view shows True Length)
Fv is seen on Vp clearly.
To see Tv clearly, HP is
rotated 900 downwards,
Hence it comes below xy.

TRACES OF THE LINE:-
THESE ARE THE POINTS OF INTERSECTIONS OF A LINE ( OR IT’S EXTENSION )
WITH RESPECTIVE REFFERENCE PLANES.
A LINE ITSELF OR IT’S EXTENSION, WHERE EVER TOUCHES H.P.,
THAT POINT IS CALLED TRACE OF THE LINE ON H.P.( IT IS CALLED H.T.)
SIMILARLY, A LINE ITSELF OR IT’S EXTENSION, WHERE EVER TOUCHES V.P.,
THAT POINT IS CALLED TRACE OF THE LINE ON V.P.( IT IS CALLED V.T.)
V.T.:- It is a point on Vp.
Hence it is called Fv of a point in Vp.
Hence it’s Tv comes on XY line.( Here onward named as v )
H.T.:- It is a point on Hp.
Hence it is called Tv of a point in Hp.
Hence it’s Fv comes on XY line.( Here onward named as ’h’ )

PROBLEM 8 :- Projectors drawn from HT and VT of a line AB
are 80 mm apart and those drawn from it’s ends are 50 mm apart.
End A is 10 mm above Hp, VT is 35 mm below Hp
while it’s HT is 45 mm in front of Vp. Draw projections,
locate traces and find TL of line & inclinations with Hp and Vp.
SOLUTION STEPS:-
1.Draw xy line and two projectors,
80 mm apart and locate HT & VT ,
35 mm below xy and 55 mm above xy
respectively on these projectors.
2.Locate h’ and v on xy as usual.
3.Now just like previous two problems,
Extending certain lines complete Fv & Tv

Then from point v & HT

From point VT’ & h’

&
Instead of considering a & a’ as projections of first point,
if v & VT’ are considered as first point , then true inclinations of line with
Hp & Vp i.e. angles & can be constructed with points VT’ & V respectively.
THIS CONCEPT IS USED TO SOLVE
NEXT THREE PROBLEMS.

PROBLEM 9 :-

SOLUTION STEPS:-
Draw xy, one projector
and locate on it VT and V.
Draw locus of a’ 10 mm above xy.
Take 300 from VT and draw a line.
Where it intersects with locus of a’
name it a1’ as it is TL of that part.
From a1’ cut 100 mm (TL) on it and locate point b1’
Now from v take 450 and draw a line downwards
& Mark on it distance VT-a1’ I.e.TL of extension & name it a1
Extend this line by 100 mm and mark point b1.
Draw it’s component on locus of VT’
& further rotate to get other end of Fv i.e.b’
Join it with VT’ and mark intersection point
(with locus of a1’ ) and name it a’
Now as usual locate points a and b and h’ and HT.

PROBLEM 10 :-
A line AB is 75 mm long. It’s Fv & Tv make 450 and 600 inclinations with X-Y line resp
End A is 15 mm above Hp and VT is 20 mm below Xy line. Line is in first quadrant.
Draw projections, find inclinations with Hp & Vp. Also locate HT.

is instead of line’s inclinations,

So first take those angles from VT & v
Properly, construct Fv & Tv of extension,
then determine it’s TL( V-a1)
and on it’s extension mark TL of line
and proceed and complete it.

PROBLEM 11 :- The projectors drawn from VT & end A of line AB are 40mm apart.

SOLUTION STEPS:-
After drawing xy line and one projector
Locate top view of A I.e point a on xy as
It is in Vp,
Locate Fv of B i.e.b’15 mm above xy as
it is above Hp.and Tv of B i.e. b, 50 mm
below xy asit is 50 mm in front of Vp
Draw side view structure of Vp and Hp
and locate S.V. of point B i.e. b’’
From this point cut 75 mm distance on Vp and
Mark a’’ as A is in Vp. (This is also VT of line.)
From this point draw locus to left & get a’
Extend SV up to Hp. It will be HT. As it is a Tv
Rotate it and bring it on projector of b.
Now as discussed earlier SV gives TL of line
and at the same time on extension up to Hp & Vp
gives inclinations with those panes.

APPLICATIONS OF PRINCIPLES OF PROJECTIONS OF LINES
IN SOLVING CASES OF DIFFERENT PRACTICAL SITUATIONS.
In these types of problems some situation in the field
or
some object will be described .
It’s relation with Ground ( HP )
And
a Wall or some vertical object ( VP ) will be given.
Indirectly information regarding Fv & Tv of some line or lines,
inclined to both reference Planes will be given
and
you are supposed to draw it’s projections
and
further to determine it’s true Length and it’s inclinations with ground.
Here various problems along with
actual pictures of those situations are given
for you to understand those clearly.
Now looking for views in given ARROW directions,
YOU are supposed to draw projections & find answers,
Off course you must visualize the situation properly.
CHECK YOUR ANSWERS
