Objectives
At the end of the lecture, the students should be able to:
Enumerate real life problems that involves line of intersection (LOI)
of planes
Locate LOI of overlapping and non-overlapping planes
Draw the correct visibility of planes

common to two
different surfaces
forms a curve that
is also common to
both surfaces.

Concepts
The point of
intersection of three
planes, if it exists, is
an element of the
LOI of any two of
the three planes.

Concepts
If three non-
parallel planes do
not have a common
point, then one of
the planes is
always parallel to
the LOI of the other
two. Also, the three
LOIs are parallel to
each other.

corresponding piercing non-parallel planes will
points and connect them eventually intersect. Use a
to construct the LOI third plane to find the LOI

Find the second plane

given the first plane
and the LOI

Summary
LOI is applied in problems that involves intersecting planes
Non-parallel planes, whether overlapping or not, can have
LOI
The correct visibility should always be drawn.
The visibility of the overlapping planes in one view is
independent of the visibility of the same on another view
