Some Definitions

Point

Line (line segment)

A set of points bounded by two end points such

that it is arranged in a straight manner

Plane

An single element in space

A set of lines which are bounded but lines

Solid

A set of planes which are bounded by planes

Three Primary/Principal Views

Front View

Top View

Corresponds to the view when you look/observe the Frontal

Reference Plane (FRP)

Corresponds to the view when you look/observe the

Horizontal Reference Plane (HRP)

Right Side View

Corresponds to the view when you look/observe the Profile

Steps:
1. Draw the projection lines of
each point. These lines are
always perpendicular to the
reference planes.
2. For point A, its location in
the RSV is given by the
intersection of the
projection lines and the arc
(with radius R, measured
from the HRP).
3. For point B, its location in
the Top View is given by the
distance from PRP to point
B in the RSV.
4. For Points C and D, their
location in the FV is given
by the intersection of the

TL, PV, EV, TS

True Length (TL)

Point View (PV)

When the reference plane is parallel to the line.

When the reference plane is perpendicular to the TL of the line.

Edge View (EV)

When the reference plane is perpendicular to the TL of the plane.

When the PV of one line in the plane is projected.

True Size (TS)

When the reference plane is perpendicular to the EV of the plane.

Do we have an
automatic TL in FRP?
YES.

Regardless what the

Assume that measurements for

the distances of points are already
given.
