Auxiliary Plane
Auxiliary Plane: Any plane perpendicular to an RP
and inclined to the other RP
In practice
1. Auxiliary inclined plane (AIP)

Inclined to HP and perpendicular to VP

2. Auxiliary vertical plane (AVP)

Inclined to VP and perpendicular to HP

AIP is seen as line in FV

AVP is seen as line in TV
Auxiliary plane projection method provides quick
and accurate solutions to many projection problems
. Especially in projections of planes and solids.

A 90mm long line PQ is
inclined at 45 to the H.P.
and 30 to the V.P. The
ends P is 20mm above
the H.P. and in the V.P.
Draw the Projections and
locate the traces.

10/21/15

A straight line PQ has the

end P at 15mm above the
H.P. and 60mm infront of
the V.P. and the end Q is
45mm above the H.P. and
10mm infront of the V.P. If
the end projections are
60mm apart, draw the
projections of the line.
Determine its true length
and true inclination with the
principal planes.
