ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS
OF POINTS, LINES & PLANES
To draw projections of any object,
one must have following information:
A) OBJECT
{With its description, well defined}
B) OBSERVER
{Always observing perpendicular to resp. Ref. Plane}
C) LOCATION OF OBJECT
{Means its position with reference to H.P. & V.P.}

point r´. Join q´r´ and p´r´.
4. Draw a line from point q, inclined at 120° to xy such
that it meets the projector from r´ at a point r. Join qr
and pr.
5. As lines pq and p´q´ are parallel to xy, they represent
the true length of side PQ. Here PQ = 60 mm.

TRACES OF THE LINE:-
These are the points of intersections of a line ( or it’s extension ) with respect to
reference planes.
A line itself or its extension, where ever touches H.P., that point is called TRACE
OF THE LINE ON H.P. (It is called H.T.)
Similarly, a line itself or it’s extension, where ever touches V.P., that point is called
TRACE OF THE LINE ON V.P. (it is called V.T.)
V.T.:- It is a point on VP.
Hence it is called FV of a point in VP.
Hence it’s TV comes on XY line.( Here onward denoted as ‘v’)
H.T.:- It is a point on HP.
Hence it is called TV of a point in HP.
Hence it’s FV comes on XY line.( Here onward denoted as ‘h’ )

A line itself or its extension, where ever touches H.P., that point is called TRACE OF THE LINE ON H.P. (It is called H.T.) Similarly, a line itself or it’s extension, where ever touches V.P., that point is called TRACE OF THE LINE ON V.P. (it is called V.T.) V.T.:- It is a point on VP. Hence it is called FV of a point in VP. Hence it’s TV comes on XY line.( Here onward denoted as ‘v’) H.T.:- It is a point on HP. Hence it is called TV of a point in HP. Hence it’s FV comes on XY line.( Here onward denoted as ‘h’ ) PROBLEMS INVOLVING TRACES OF THE LINE 25
