TIPS FOR PROJECTION OF SOLIDS

 

 

solids.gif

When the axis of the solid inclined any of the projection plane,

  1. First assume the axis is perpendicular to that plane.
  2. Draw the projection in simple position
    1. Top view first if the axis is perpendicular to HP
    2. Front view first if the axis is perpendicular to VP
  3. Change position of the view to the given inclination
    1. Tilt the front view, if the axis inclined to the HP
    2. Tilt the top view, if the axis inclined to the VP
  4. Project from this view to get the final view
    1. Project from the front view, to get the top view if the axis inclined to the HP
    2. Project from the top view, to get the front view if the axis inclined to the VP
  5. Ensure all the points are named in an appropriate manner
    1. Lower case letters with a (‘)dash for the front views
    2. Lower case letters alone for the top views

Happy Drawing

  1. sarath chandra

    This is sarath, i was very afraid of this drawing subject.but now i am average in this subject and i want to know some techniques on the above solids like cone, cube, etc.

    with respect to

    sarath chandra.

  2. thank u for all the tipd u hav provided for engg drawing….now i could imagine better than earlier

  3. i was searching for easy points to understand this chapter.i glad that icould get it here.I am looking for some solved exersizes on this chapter.

  4. your explanation is not clear

  5. its very useful to me .thanks to this

  6. Dear sir,
    I saw ur explanations about the midpoint problem in animated work that makes me very clear. Give some animated drawings in projection of solids &in section of solids.

  7. give some more graphical work in projectons &
    sections of solids

  8. V.Sundareswaran

    I appreciate your effort for teaching “Engineering Graphics” through web.
    A correction has to be made in Step 4,sub division 2. Correct sentence would be “Project from the TOP VIEW to get FRONT VIEW if the axis is inclined to V.P>”

  9. Dear Sundareshwaaran,
    Thank You, now I made the correction.
    Please feel free to give suggestions to other posts also.

  10. plz post some ppt files for better understanding.

  19. dear sir,
    i find difficult in understanding development of lateral surface i.e.old syllabus .Sir , i want to few suggestion from u to how to understand this chapter.because of this subject only i have lost my one year.so plz send me some suggestion for this sir.

  20. Sir,

    can you give me some tips for apparent angle construction in case of projection of solids

    Thanks,
    Abhishek

  21. give notes on perspective view

  22. i think that engg. graphics is not a very typical subject.its totally based on the imagination tricks & properly understanding of subject.

  23. sir please send me some notes on section of solids with graphic representation.

  24. could you please explain with the help of animation drawings

  25. hiiiii……….i m a student of engg………..

  26. now i am studying civil engineering first year

    i am very afraid for EG PLEASE TELL ME THE EASIEST WAY

  27. sir i ned help for first year engneering graphics

  28. im facing difficulty with eng. graphics especially with projection of planes & proj. of solids could u help me

  29. hi this my subject so please give me a more information about this okkkkkkkkk

  30. It is helpful to the engineering students to learn the basics of Engineering drawing.Students should practice the problems and it cannot be learnt just by reading/looking at the solution. understanding the Concept of different inclinations(True and appearant) is very important apart from understanding other drawing conventions likeHP,VP,reference line,projections wrt different quadrants etc

  31. K.Shashidhara Sastry

    Dear students,
    I would like to give some suggestions .First of all make sure that you have understood the basic concepts of the subject especially the true and appearant views and inclinations.
    Consider the true inclination for the true leangth and consider appearant inclination for the appearant leangth.
    If plane is in VP, then compare the length of the element of that plane which is inclined to HP with that of its true length.If both are same then angle alpha need not to be constructed.similarly

    similarly,If plane is in HP, then compare the length of the element of that plane which is inclined to VP with that of its true length.If both are same then angle beta need not to be constructed.words “Appears to be” OR “In the top/front view refer to the appearant views which pertains to the appearant inclinations only.

    any particular question will be answered.

  32. sir i want two know more about projection of solid and section of solid.

  33. its too difficult………………….

  34. this is Ragavan. I say that this subject is one of the most easiest subjects and most of you are commenting that this subject is a difficult one!

  35. i have some confusions in projection of solids.now i was clear about where and when the top view & front view is to be placed.thank you

  36. sir please give some notes

  37. what a great site and informative posts, I will add a backlink and bookmark your site. Keep up the good work!

    I’m Out! 🙂

  38. Proff.sachin more

    sir please send me notes on total engineering graphics subject also send me slide show presentation of all topic

  39. sir please send me some notes on section of solids with graphic representation.

  40. sir please help me to know about prespectives

  41. sir please send me some notes for projection of solids and section of solids with ppt presentation…

  42. akhilaunnikrishnamn

    sir ilike graphics very much please send model questions &answers to me

  43. A tetrahedron 70mm edges is resting on one of its corners on hp with an edge passing through tha point makes 30 degree with hp.a face containing that corner inclined 60 degree to vp. Draw the projection. Plz solve dis

  44. this website is helping me alot making subject very easy thank u sir

  45. Sir, plz send me some notes on sections of solids and isometric projection.

  46. graphics is very difficult for me.so piz give some tips about it

  47. send me some notes for the projection of straight lines

  48. may i suggest some thing????????

    the projection of solid is based on Axis but it is easy to start with true shape of the base either in HP or VP.directly related to the inclination of the Axis.
    1, Draw the true shape of the base in HP or in VP
    and project the corners for other view get view as length of axis.
    2, then tilt the figure according to the inclination (first inclination will be shown with that REF. Plane in which the true shape has been drawn) and get change in other view by joining the same locus and projectors.
    3Then show other inclination (if it is given) and again get the change in other view.
    *Front view is titled to show inclination with HP
    * Top view is titled to show inclination with VP
    thanks
    i hope it may help who has the problem in projection of solid.

  49. sir ,i have confusion to under stand problem on plane.
    Que.- draw the projection of plane ABCD which resting on one of its corner on H.P. the diagonal AD is inclined to h.p at 30 degree. the diagonal BD is inclined to v.p at 60 degree and parallel to h.p.

    pls give me some useful tips to understand dis prblem.

  50. thank you sir, i got some easy points to remember,

  51. thank you sir, i got some easy points to remember

  52. sir plz send me some notes regarding “Intersection of solids”.

  53. how i can made engineering graphics easy?

  54. hie this is kiran. i hav a small doubt on the solids topic if they given a triangular prism then the question is that the prism is rests on the horizontal plane and one of its rectangular side is parallel to vertical plane. then what is the front view, top view and side view of that prism.

    plz plz plz send me the answer to my email id: saithegreat2020@gmail.com

  55. engg graphics is the easiest subect wen compared practically…. what u need to do is
    * learn basics
    * read question twice and try to understand the figure …no one needs to say u tips, u alone can creat ur own tips….just understand the the logic in the subject
    *finally….dont fell this subject as a burden……. try tolike it….
