Auxiliary View Projection Theory Auxiliary view: An orthographic view that is projected onto any plane other than one of the six principal views In a multiview drawing, a true size and shape plane is shown only when the line of sight (LOS) used to create the view is perpendicular to the projection plane

Auxiliary View Theory (con’t) Oblique lines, inclined planes, and oblique planes are never shown in their true size and shape as one of the six principal views

Auxiliary View Theory (con’t) A 3-D view of this same object shows best how the auxiliary view projection theory works The inclined plane is never shown in its true size and shape in the six principal views

Auxiliary View Theory (con’t) Notice that in this alternative, the auxiliary view is shown perpendicular to the included plane

Fold-Line Method (3.5.1) Fold-line method: An auxiliary plane is generated that is perpendicular to and hinged to the frontal plane, creating a fold line between the front and auxiliary views Note that the fold lines are parallel to the edge lines of the planes. This means that the fold line is perpendicular to the projection lines (lines of sight)

Fold-Line Method (con’t) An alternative to the traditional fold-line method is the Reference Plane Method The two methods are essentially the same. In the reference plane method, the folding line moves to the edge or inside of the object to a location that makes it more convenient to draw an auxiliary line

Constructing an Auxiliary View (3.5.2) Step 1: Draw fold line F-1 using a phantom line parallel to the edge view of the inclined surface Step 2: Draw fold lines between the front and top, and front and right side views – perpendicular to the projectors between the two views and at distance X from the rear edge of the views Step 3: Project the length of the inclined surface from the front view to the auxiliary view perpendicular to the edge view

Constructing an Auxiliary View (con’t) Step 4: Transfer the depth of the inclined surface from the top view to the auxiliary view (distance X from the fold line) Step 5: From point C in the auxiliary view, draw a line perpendicular to the projectors. Depth dimension Y is transferred from the top view by measuring the perpendicular distance from the fold line to point A. This can then be transferred to the auxiliary view Step 6: Darken the lines in the auxiliary view Note that only the inclined plane is shown in the auxiliary view. This is referred to as a partial auxiliary view.

Partial and Half Auxiliary Views (3.5.3–3.5.4) Partial auxiliary view: When only the details for the inclined surface are projected and drawn in the auxiliary view – saves time and produces a drawing that is much more readable Note: Hidden lines are not shown in an auxiliary view unless absolutely necessary

Partial and Half Auxiliary Views (con’t) Half auxiliary view: Used for symmetrical objects in which only half of the object is shown

Secondary Auxiliary Views To find the true size of an oblique line or plane a secondary auxiliary view is required

Curves in Auxiliary Views Curves in auxiliary views are handled similar to the offset coordinate method used with pictorial views These lines are parallel

Auxiliary View Applications Reverse construction: Used when an auxiliary view must be created to draw a principal view It is very difficult to draw this right-side view without having an auxiliary view (this uses the offset coordinate method to transfer the circle to the right-side view)

Auxiliary View Applications (con’t) Dihedral angles: A dihedral angle is the angle between two planes To draw and measure the angle between two planes, create a point view of the line of intersection between the two planes (meaning that the fold line is perpendicular to the line of intersection between the two planes)
