Create an auxiliary view from any orthographic projection using drawing

instruments.

Construct the depth, width and height in auxiliary view.
Find the true length of an oblique line by constructing an auxiliary view.
There are times when one of the six principal views will not completely describe an object. This is especially true
when there are inclined or oblique planes or features on an object. For these cases, a special orthographic view
called an can be created. With we learned to describe
an object with views on the three regular planes of projection. These are the or the
, or ; and the , or With these planes, you can solve many graphic
problems.

However, to solve problems involving surfaces, you will need to learn to draw views on auxiliary
(additional) planes of projection. These are called In this lesson we will explore how to draw these
views on planes that are parallel to the inclined surfaces.

This module provides an avenue to answer the following questions:

• Why is it important to study auxiliary view?

• What are the steps-by-steps procedure in constructing auxiliary view?

DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING

When an object has a slanted or inclined surface, it usually is not possible to show
the inclined surface in an orthographic drawing without distortion. To present a more
accurate description of any inclined surface, an additional view, known as an
, is usually required.

• Front View Auxiliaries

• Top View Auxiliaries
• Side View Auxiliaries

There are three basic types of auxiliary views. In the first type, the auxiliary view is
projected from the front view of a three view (orthographic) drawing. In the second
and third types of drawings, the auxiliary views are projected from the top and side
views.

Here is a front view auxiliary of a simple object with an inclined surface

Notice that the projection lines are perpendicular to the slanted surface of the first view, and that only the slanted surface
of the object is shown in the auxiliary view. · The rest of the object is omitted, however, for clarification portions of the
adjacent· surfaces are sometimes shown. Also, notice that the slanted surfaces of the top and side views are shortened
because of distortion, whereas the surface of the auxiliary view is true, or actual size.

To sketch an auxiliary view, you begin with orthographic. views of the object and add projection lines perpendicular (90◦) to
the slanted surface, adding a reference line any convenient distance from the view with the slanted surface.

Next, the distance CB on the auxiliary view is made the same length as the related distance in one of the orthographic views;
in this example it’s the side view. This completes the auxiliary view.

A top view auxiliary is developed in the same way as a front view auxiliary, except that the auxiliary is projected from the top
view.

Whether the auxiliary view is to be projected from the front, top, or side view depends on the position of the object, or which
surface of the object is slanted. In this example, the top view is slanted. Therefore the auxiliary view must be projected from
the top view.

Again, notice how the angled surfaces shown in the front and side views are not shown in true length.
Side view auxiliaries are drawn in the same way as front and top view auxiliaries. Again, where the auxiliary view is to be
projected depends upon the position of the object or which surface of the object is slanted.

Obviously, these are very basic auxiliary view examples and are presented to introduce you to the concept of auxiliary views.
As objects with inclined surfaces become more complex, auxiliary views provide a means of presenting objects in their true
size and shape.

An auxiliary view is an orthographic view which is projected

onto any plane other than the frontal, horizontal, or profile plane.

an
auxiliary view can be created by positioning a line of sight
perpendicular to the inclined plane, then constructing the new
view.
 In , the object is suspended in a
glass box to show the six principal views, created by
projecting the object onto the planes of the box. The
box is then unfolded, resulting in the six principal
views. However, when the six views are created,

it always appears either foreshortened or on

edge.

The object suspended inside a glass box, which has a special or

auxiliary plane that is parallel to inclined surface ABCD. The line of
sight required to create the auxiliary view is perpendicular to the
new projection plane and to surface ABCD.

Generally, auxiliary views are used to show the true shape or true angle of features that appear distorted in the regular
views. Auxiliary views are often used to produce views that show the following:
True length of line (TL)
Point view of line (PV)
Edge view of plane (EV)
True size of plane (TS)
True size of angle between a line and a plane or a plane and a plane

Examine the views that are given for an inclined surface.

Find the line that is considered the edge view of the inclined plane.
In the front view, draw a light construction line at right angles to the inclined surface. This is the line of sight.
Think of the auxiliary plane as being attached by hinges to the front (vertical) plane from which it is developed.
From all points labeled on the front view, draw projection lines at right angles to the inclined surface (parallel to
the line of sight)
Draw a reference line parallel to the edge view of the inclined surface and at a convenient distance from it.
Transfer the depth dimension, which in this case is the primary reference, to the reference line as shown.
Project the labeled points and connect them in sequence to form the auxiliary view. The points used to identify the
shape are for solving difficult problems (instructional purposes).

Following the form and dimensions given in the drawing on the left,
demonstrate how to create an auxiliary view using the front and top views
only. Remember, we’re after the true size and shape of the
surface.
