  Understanding Projections of Solid •Any one of the solids given above is kept in first quadrant to draw its projections (TV, FV etc.). • There are six different positions in which a solid can be placed with reference to its axis and reference planes (VP & HP). • Your ability to visualize the solid and imagining the correct position is necessary to understand and draw the projections of the solid. www.jeyapoovan.com
• 9.
  Projections of aSolid kept with its axis perpendicularto HPand parallel to VP • Consider a square prism having its axis perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP. • Top view is a square, note that the top and bottom bases are coinciding. • Front view is a rectangle with visible and hidden longer edges of the prism. www.jeyapoovan.com

  Projections of aSolid kept with its axis perpendicularto VPand parallel to HP • Consider a square prism having its axis perpendicular to VP and parallel to HP. • Front view is a square, note that the front and rear bases are coinciding. • Top view is a rectangle with visible and hidden longer edges of the prism. www.jeyapoovan.com
• 11.
  Projections of aSolid kept with its axis parallel to both HPand VP • Consider a square prism having its axis parallel to both HP and VP. • Side view is a square, note that the left and right bases are coinciding. • Top view is a rectangle with visible and hidden longer edges of the prism. • Front view is also a rectangle with visible and hidden longer edges of the prism. www.jeyapoovan.com

  Example 1: Arectangular prism of base sides 40 × 20 mm and axis length 60 mm is resting on HP on one of its bases, with a longer base side inclined at 35° to VP. Draw its projections. • Step: when the axis of the solid is perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP, Draw the TV and project the FV. • Draw the TV which is rectangle with a side inclined at 35º to XY. • Project and get the FV as a rectangle showing the visible and hidden edges. • Note that hidden edges are shown in dashed lines. www.jeyapoovan.com
• 13.
  Example 2: Ahexagonal prism of base side 30 mm and axis length 60 mm is resting on HP on one of its rectangular faces with its axis perpendicular to VP. Draw its projections. • Step: when the solid axis is perpendicular to VP and parallel to HP, Draw the FV and project the TV. • Draw the FV which is a hexagon with a side on XY. • Project and get the TV as a rectangle showing visible and hidden edges. • Note: When a visible edge coincides with a hidden edge, only the visible edge is drawn.www.jeyapoovan.com
• 14.
  Example 3: Atriangular prism of base side 35 mm and axis length 60 mm has one of its rectangular faces parallel to and 20 mm above HP. Draw its projections when the longer edges are parallel to VP. • Step: when the axis of the solid is parallel to both HP and VP, Draw the Side view and project TV and FV. • Draw the left side view (LSV) which is a triangle with a side parallel to XY. • Project the TV which is a rectangle. • Project the FV which is also a rectangle. www.jeyapoovan.com

  Tips to drawvisible and hidden edges • Read the given problem carefully and understand the FV and TV in that position and follow the steps as given against each position. • Draw one of the views and project the other view. • All boundary edges in any view are always visible. • Edges in upper half of a solid, i.e. above axis in front view, is always visible in top view. Other edges are drawn in dashed lines. • Edges in front half of a solid, i.e. in front of axis in top view, is always visible in front view. Other edges are drawn in dashed lines. www.jeyapoovan.com
