Study Notes
Projection of Points, Lines and Planes in Technical Drawing
- Technical drawing and design require the creation of projections to find the true views of lines and planes.
- Geometric solutions of three-dimensional forms require an understanding of the space relations that points, lines, and planes share in forming any given shape.
- Basic descriptive geometry is one of the designer's methods of thinking through and solving problems.
- Reference planes are unfolded to form a two-dimensional surface that a drafter uses to construct and solve problems.
- The planes are labeled as T (top), F (front), and S or P (side or profile).
- Points, lines, and planes are identified on the reference planes using their label and a number.
- A point is located by measurements taken from an established reference line and can be described verbally by giving dimensions from fold/reference lines.
- Lines can be thought of as a series of points in space, having magnitude but not width.
- Lines can be located by two points which are not on the same spot but fall along the line.
- Lines can be classified based on their parallelism with the picture planes, type, and direction.
- Principal lines are lines that are parallel to a principal plane and appear true length in the principal plane to which they are parallel.
- There are three principal lines: horizontal, frontal, and profile.
