Line Parallel to Horizontal and Vertical Plane

-


  • When the line is parallel to both HP and VP, its front view and top view are parallel x-y and show true length. 
  • Let us consider a line AB of length l, parallel to HP and VP as shown in Figure. 
  • Let the distance of line from HP and VP is h and w respectively.
  • As the line is situated in first quadrant, its front view will be above x-y and top view below it. 
  • Line is parallel to both HP and VP, therefore both front view and top view will parallel to x-y with the length l (TL).




Example
A line AB of length 50 mm is parallel to both HP and VP. The line is 15 mm above HP and 20 mm in front of VP. Draw its projections.

Inscribe a regular heptagon in a circle of diameter 60 mm Heptagon Inscribed in a circle Draw a circle of diameter 60mm. Draw a diameter line AB. By taking center A and radius AO, draw an arc EF. Draw a straight line EF, intersecting the line AB at point G. Length GE or GF is the representing length of sides of pentagon. Therefore, by taking distance equal to EG in the compass, make seven equal divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the circle. Join all the divisions by straight lines and obtain the heptagon.
