Primary auxiliary views, also called helper views, are used to clearly show the true shape of sloping or inclined surfaces that appear distorted in standard orthographic views. An auxiliary view projects the inclined surface at a right angle and draws it parallel to the edge line representing the surface. To make an auxiliary view, the points of intersection between the inclined surface and vertical lines on the top view are transferred to the front view and measured off the center plane line to reconstruct the true shape of the surface in an edge view.

Primary Auxiliary View

Primary Auxiliary Views Primary auxiliary view sometimes called helper view is used to clearly and completely explain the shape of the object. Most objects have sloping or inclined surfaces that are not perpendicular to the plane of projection. Typical orthographic view represents these surfaces as distorted and does not show their true shape. When a sloping surface has an important feature that should be shown without distortion, an auxiliary view is used. Since auxiliary view drawing usually shows only the true-shape features and detail of the inclined surface, only partial auxiliary view is necessary to be drawn.

How to make an Auxiliary View

The regular orthographic view has a line that represents the edge of the inclined surface. The auxiliary view is projected, at right angles, from this edge line and drawn parallel to it.

Figure 2 shows the process of making an auxiliary view of a symmetrical object. 1. The center plane (AB) is drawn parallel to the inclined surface and it is used as representation of the reference plane. This plane appears as a center line (AB) on the top view. 2. The Points of intersection between the inclined surface and the vertical lines on the top view are numbered, and than transferred to the edge view of the inclined surface on the front view. 3. In the top view distances C and D are found from the numbered points to the center line, and then transferred on the matching construction lines, measuring them off on either side of the line AB. 4. Apply this step to other points. 5. Connect and number these points. This will result with a front auxiliary view of the inclined surface.
