AUXILIARY PLANES
Two views of an object (FV, TV) projected on the principal planes are sometimes not
sufficient to convey all information regarding object.
Additional views, called Auxiliary Views, are therefore, projected on other planes known
as Auxiliary planes.
Auxiliary views may also be used for determining
True Length of a line
Point-View of a line
Edge-View of a plane
Shortest Distance between point and a line
Shortest distance between skew lines
True Size and Form of plane
True shapes of sections of solids
Very useful in finding solutions of problems in practical solid geometry.
AUXILIARY PLANE
Any plane perpendicular to an RP and inclined to the other RP is called an auxiliary plane.
The view of an object obtained on an auxiliary plane is called an auxiliary view.
In drawing practice, two auxiliary planes, viz., Auxiliary Inclined Plane (AIP) and Auxiliary
Vertical Plane (AVP), are used.
An AIP is a plane inclined to the HP and perpendicular to the VP.
AVP represents a plane inclined to the VP and perpendicular to the HP.
Obviously, AIP and AVP are seen as lines in FV and TV respectively.
These lines are called auxiliary reference lines and are shown by X1Y1, X2Y2, etc.
Auxiliary planes are used to obtain auxiliary views and true shapes of sections of solids.

AUXILIARY PLANES
End A of a line AB is 10 mm in front of VP and 40 mm above HP. End B is 50 mm in
front of VP and 10 mm above HP. Distance between the end projectors is 50 mm.
Draw the projections, determine its true length and find inclinations to HP and
VP, using auxiliary plane method.
