Unit 6 Auxilary Views
The purpose of this unit is to give the student the understanding of the basic concepts of primary auxiliary views. There are times when one of the six principal views will not completely describe an object. This is especially true when there are inclined planes or features on an object. For these cases, a special orthographic view called an auxiliary view can be created. Auxiliary views are supplemental views added to a multiview drawing that contain inclined surfaces. They are used to find the edge and true shape views of inclined or angled surfaces. This unit describes how to create auxiliary views for objects that cannot be clearly represented by the six principal views. Also described is the use of auxiliary views to solve geometry problems, such as the point and true-length views of lines and edges.
