Conic Sections
• When a cone is cut by a cutting
plane with different positions of the
plane relative to the axis of cone, it
gives various types of curves like
Triangle, Circle, ellipse, parabola,
and hyperbola.
• These curves are known as conic
sections
Conic Sections
• To get Triangle: We have to cut cone from apex to centre of the base
(vertically)
• To get Circle: We have to cut cone by a cutting plan which should
parallel to base or perpendicular to axis of cone.
• To get Ellipse: We have to cut cone in such a way that the cutting
plane remains inclined to axis of cone and it cuts all generators of
cone.
• To get Parabola: We have to cut a cone by a cutting plane which
should inclined to axis of cone but remains parallel to one of the
generators of cone.
• To get Hyperbola: We have to cut a cone by cutting plane which
should parallel to axis

eg. when e=1/2, the curve is an Ellipse, when e=1, it is a parabola
and when e=2, it is a hyperbola.
Focus-Directrix or Eccentricity Method
Given : the distance of focus from the directrix and eccentricity
Example : Draw an ellipse if the distance of focus from the directrix is 70
mm and the eccentricity is 3/4.
1. Draw the directrix AB and
axis CC’
2. Mark F on CC’ such that
CF = 70 mm.
3. Divide CF into 7 equal
parts and mark V at the
3
fourth division from C.
Now, e = FV/ CV = 3/4.
4. At V, erect a perpendicular
VB = VF. Join CB. Through
F, draw a line at 45° to meet
CB produced at D. Through
D, drop a perpendicular
DV’ on CC’. Mark O at the
midpoint of V– V’.
Focus-Directrix or Eccentricity Method ( Continued)
5. With F as a centre and radius =
1–1’, cut two arcs on the
perpendicular through 1 to
locate P1 and P1’. Similarly,
with F as centre and radii = 2–
2’, 3–3’, etc., cut arcs on the
corresponding perpendiculars
to locate P2 and P2’, P3 and
P3’, etc. Also, cut similar arcs
on the perpendicular through
O to locate V1 and V1’.
6. Draw a smooth closed curve
passing through V, P1, P/2, P/3,
…, V1, …, V’, …, V1’, … P/3’,

the directrix is 60 mm.
1. Draw directrix AB and axis CC’as shown.
2. Mark F on CC’such that CF = 60 mm.
3. Mark V at the midpoint of CF. Therefore, e =
VF/ VC = 1.
4. At V
, erect a perpendicular VB = VF. Join CB.
5. Mark a few points, say, 1, 2, 3, … on VC’ and
erect perpendiculars through them meeting
CB produced at 1’, 2’, 3’, …

corresponding perpendiculars to locate P2
and P2’, P3 and P3’, etc.
7. Draw a smooth curve passing through V, P1,
P2, P3 … P3’, P2’, P1’.
Constructing a Hyperbola (Eccentricity Method)
6
Draw a hyperbola of
e = 3/2 if the distance
of the focus from the
directrix = 50 mm.
Construction similar
to ellipse and
parabola
Drawing Tangent and Normal to any conic
7
When a tangent at any point on the curve (P) is produced to meet the
directrix, the line joining the focus with this meeting point (FT) will be at
right angle to the line joining the focus with the point of contact (PF).
The normal to the curve at any point is perpendicular to the tangent at
that point.
Another definition of the ellipse
An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of
the distances from the two fixed points (the foci) in the plane is
constant.
8
Arcs of Circle Method
Given conditions: (1) the major axis and minor axis are known OR
(2) the major axis and the distance between the foci are known
Draw AB & CD perpendicular to each
other as the major diameter minor
diameter respectively.
With centre as C or D, and half the major
diameter as radius draw arcs to intersect
the major diameter to obtain the foci at X
and Y.
Mark a numbe of points along line
segment XY and number them. Points need
not be equidistant.
Set the compass to radius B-1 and draw
two arcs, with Y as center. Set the compass
to radius A1, and draw two arcs with X as
center. Intersection points of the two arcs
are points on the ellipse. Repeat this step
for all the remaining points.
Use the French curve to connect the points,
thus drawing the ellipse.

Constructing an Ellipse (Concentric Circle Method)
Given:
Major axis and
minor axis
• With center C, draw two concentric circles with diameters equal to major and minor
diameters of the ellipse. Draw the major and minor diameters.

intersects the smaller circle.
• From points A and B, draw lines parallel to the minor diameter. Draw lines parallel to
the major diameter through D & E.
• The intersection of the lines from A and D is point F, and from B and E is point G.
Points F & G lies on the ellipse.
• Extend lines FD & BG and lines AF and GE to obtain two more points in the other
quadrants.
• Repeat steps 2-6 to create more points in each quadrant and then draw a smo10oth
curve through the points.
Constructing a Parabola (Parallelogram Method)
Example: Draw a parabola of base 100 mm and axis 50 mm if the axis
makes 70° to the base.
11
1. Draw the base RS = 100 mm and through its midpoint K, draw the axis KV = 50 mm, inclined
at 70° to RS. Draw a parallelogram RSMN such that SM is parallel and equal to KV.
2. Divide RN and RK into the same number of equal parts, say 5. Number the divisions as 1, 2, 3,
4 and 1’, 2’, 3’, 4’, starting from R.
3. Join V–1, V–2, V–3 and V–4. Through 1’, 2’, 3’and 4’, draw lines parallel to KV to meet V–1 at
P1, V–2 at P2, V–3 at P3 and V–4 at P4, respectively.
4. Obtain P5, P6, P7 and P8 in the other half of the rectangle in a similar way. Alternatively, these
points can be obtained by drawing lines parallel to RS through P1, P2, P3 and P4. For example,
draw P1– P8 such that P1– x = x– P8. Join P1, P2, P3 … P8 to obtain the parabola.
Hyperbola
12
A Hyperbola is obtained
when a section plane,
parallel/inclined to the axis
cuts the cone on one side of
the axis.
A Rectangular Hyperbola is
obtained when a section,
parallel to the axis cuts the
cone on one side of the axis.
Hyperbola Mathematical definition
A hyperbola is
defined as the set of
in a plane
distances
points
whose
from
13
two fixed
points called foci, in
the plane have a
constant difference.
Constructing a Hyperbola
14
Given: Distance between Foci and Distance between vertices
Draw the axis of symmetry and
construct a perpendicular through
the axis. Locate focal point F
equidistant from the perpendicular
and on either side of it. Locate
points A and B on the axis
equidistant from the perpendicular.
AB is the distance between vertices
With F as center and radius R1, and
draw the arcs. With R1 + AB, radius,
and F as center, draw a second set
of arcs. The intersection of the two
arcs on each side of the
perpendicular are points on the
hyperbola
Select a new radius R2 and repeat
step 2. Continue this process until
several points on the hyperbola are
marked
Roulettes
• Roulettes are curves generated by the rolling
contact of one curve or line on another curve or
line, without slipping.
• There are various types of roulettes.
• The most common types of roulettes used in
engineering practice are: Cycloids,
Trochoids, and Involutes.
Cycloid
Generating circle
Base line
A Cycloid is generated by a point on the circumference of a
circle rolling along a straight line without slipping
The rolling circle is called the Generating circle
The straight line is called the Directing line or Base line
Constructing a cycloid
➢ Generating circle has its center at C and has a radius of C-P’. Straight line PP’ is
equal in length to the circumference of the circle and is tangent to the circle at
point P’.
➢ Divide the circle into a number of equal segments, such as 12. Number the
intersections of the radii and the circle.
➢ From each point of intersection on the circle, draw a construction line parallel to line
PP’and extending up to line P’C’.
➢ Divide the line CC’ into the same number of equal parts, and number them. Draw
vertical lines from each point to intersect the extended horizontal centerline of the
circle. Label each point as C1, C2, C3, …. C12.
Constructing a cycloid (contd.)
Using point C1 as the center and radius of the circle C-P’, draw an arc that
intersects the horizontal line extended from point 1 at P1. Set the compass at point
C2, then draw an arc that intersects the horizontal line passing through point 2 at
P2. Repeat this process using points C3, C4, …. C12, to locate points along the
horizontal line extended from points 3, 4, 5, etc..
Draw a smooth curve connecting P1, P2, P3, etc to form the cycloid
Draw normal NN and Tangent TT
Epicycloid
The cycloid is called Epicycloid when the generating circle
rolls along another circle outside it.
Constructing an Epicycloid
1) With O as centre
and OC as radius,
draw an arc to
represent locus of
centre.
2) Divide arc PQ in
to 12 equal parts
and name them as
1’, 2’, …., 12’.
3) Join O1’, O2’, … and produce them to cut the locus of centres at C1, C2, ….
4) Taking C1 as centre, and radius equal to 20 mm, draw an arc cutting the arc
through 1 at P1. Similarly obtain points P2, P3,…., P12.
5) Join P1, P2….. With French curve
Hypocycloid
Hypocycloid is obtained when the generating circle rolls
along another circle inside it.
Constructing an Hypocycloid
Construction is similar to epicycloid. The generating
circle is to be drawn below the base circle
Trochoid
• Trochoid is a curve generated by a point outside or inside the
circle rolling along a straight line.
• If the point is outside the circle the curve obtained is called
Superior Trochoid
• If the point is inside the circle, the curve obtained is called
Inferior Trochoid

Involute
An Involute is a curve traced by the free end of a thread
unwound from a circle or a polygon in such a way that
the thread is always tight and tangential to the circle or
side of the polygon
Construction of Involute of circle
Draw the circle with c as center
and CPas radius.
Draw line PQ = 2CP, tangent to
the circle at P
Divide the circle into 12 equal
parts. Number them as 1, 2…
Divide the line PQ into 12 equal
parts and number as 1´, 2´…..
Draw tangents to the circle at 1,
2,3….
Locate points P1, P2 such that 1-
P1 = P1´, 2-P2 = P2´….
Join P, P1, P2….
The tangent to the circle at any point on it is always normal to the its involute.
Join CN. Draw a semicircle with CN as diameter, cutting the circle at M.

Theory of Projections

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
Guwahati – 781039
Projection theory
D.objects and structures are
represented graphically on 2-D media.
All projection theory are based on two
variables:
➢ Line of sight
➢ Plane of projection.
Projection system
Plane of Projection
A plane of projection (i.e, an image or picture
plane) is an imaginary flat plane upon which the
image created by the line of sight is projected.
The image is produced by connecting the points
where the lines of sight pierce the projection
plane. In effect, 3-D object is transformed into a
2-D representation, also called projections.
The paper or computer screen on which a
drawing is created is a plane of projection
Projection Methods
Projection methods are very important
techniques in engineering drawing.
➢ Perspective and
➢ Parallel.
In perspective
projection, all
lines of sight
start at a
single point.
In parallel projection, all lines of sight are parallel.
Parallel vs Perspective Projection
Parallel projection
Distance from the observer to the object is infinite,
projection lines are parallel – object is positioned at
infinity.
Less realistic but easier to draw.
Perspective projection
Distance from the observer to the object is finite and
the object is viewed from a single point – projectors
are not parallel.
Perspective projections mimic what the human eyes
see, however, they are difficult to draw.

  • 24. Constructing an Hypocycloid Construction is similar to epicycloid. The generating circle is to be drawn below the base circle
  • 25. Trochoid • Trochoid is a curve generated by a point outside or inside the circle rolling along a straight line. • If the point is outside the circle the curve obtained is called Superior Trochoid • If the point is inside the circle, the curve obtained is called Inferior Trochoid
  • 26. Classification of Cycloidal curves Generating Circle On the directing line Outside the directing line Inside the directing line Generating point On the generating circle Cycloid Epicycloid Hypocycloid Outside the generating circle Superior trochoid Superior epitrochoid Superior Hypotrochoid Inside the generating circle Inferior trochoid Inferior epitrochoid Inferior hypotrochoid
  • 27. Involute An Involute is a curve traced by the free end of a thread unwound from a circle or a polygon in such a way that the thread is always tight and tangential to the circle or side of the polygon
  • 28. Construction of Involute of circle Draw the circle with c as center and CPas radius. Draw line PQ = 2CP, tangent to the circle at P Divide the circle into 12 equal parts. Number them as 1, 2… Divide the line PQ into 12 equal parts and number as 1´, 2´….. Draw tangents to the circle at 1, 2,3…. Locate points P1, P2 such that 1- P1 = P1´, 2-P2 = P2´…. Join P, P1, P2…. The tangent to the circle at any point on it is always normal to the its involute. Join CN. Draw a semicircle with CN as diameter, cutting the circle at M. MN is the normal.
  • 29. ME 111: Engineering Drawing Theory of Projections 27 Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Guwahati – 781039
  • 30. Projection theory D.objects and structures are represented graphically on 2-D media. All projection theory are based on two variables: ➢ Line of sight ➢ Plane of projection.
  • 32. Plane of Projection A plane of projection (i.e, an image or picture plane) is an imaginary flat plane upon which the image created by the line of sight is projected. The image is produced by connecting the points where the lines of sight pierce the projection plane. In effect, 3-D object is transformed into a 2-D representation, also called projections. The paper or computer screen on which a drawing is created is a plane of projection
  • 33. Projection Methods Projection methods are very important techniques in engineering drawing. ➢ Perspective and ➢ Parallel.
  • 34. In perspective projection, all lines of sight start at a single point.
  • 35. In parallel projection, all lines of sight are parallel.
  • 36. Parallel vs Perspective Projection Parallel projection Distance from the observer to the object is infinite, projection lines are parallel – object is positioned at infinity. Less realistic but easier to draw. Perspective projection Distance from the observer to the object is finite and the object is viewed from a single point – projectors are not parallel. Perspective projections mimic what the human eyes see, however, they are difficult to draw.
