Auxiliary View
An auxiliary view is an orthographic view taken in
such a manner that the lines of sight are not parallel
to the principal projection planes (frontal, horizontal,
or profile). There are an infinite number of possible
auxiliary views of any given object.
Principal faces of the object are not parallel to PP
planes.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Why Auxiliary View?

Inclined planes and oblique
lines do not appear true
length or true size in any of
the principle planes of
projection

To determine the true

length of an oblique line or
the true size of an inclined
plane, an auxiliary view
must be created.
The auxiliary view shows
the true shape and size of
circular shapes.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Steps of Drawing

1. Select the face that is to be drawn as

i) a true surface,
ii) a true length line,
iii) an end view of a line.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Steps of Drawing

2. Draw construction lines perpendicular to the

surface/line/point of interest. This line
should go in a direction, and far enough
that leaves enough space for the view.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Steps of Drawing

3. Draw a folding line at an appropriate

distance. This will act as a reference
plane.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Steps of Drawing

4. Transfer distances from another view

(adjacent view). This view will typically be
the view adjoining the view that the auxiliary
is drawn from.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Steps of Drawing

5. Complete the view. Draw visible and hidden

lines as seen from the direction of
projection lines.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Example 2

1. Draw two orthographic views and assume

a direction of sight for auxiliary view.

Steps of Drawing

2. Draw construction lines parallel to the

arrow.

3. Assume reference plane coinciding with

back surface. Draw reference plane (edge
view) in the top view and auxiliary view.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Steps of Drawing

4. Draw auxiliary view of surface A. Transfer

depth measurements from top view.

edges and objects.

Classification of Auxiliary Views

Auxiliary views are classified according

to the principal dimension of the object
shown in the view.

1. Depth/Front auxiliary view

2. Height/Top auxiliary view

3. Width/Side auxiliary view

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

16

Depth Auxiliary View

Any auxiliary view projected from the elevation showing depth
of object
Elevation is the adjacent view, Plan and Side-View are
alternative views

Direction of sight

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

17

Height Auxiliary View

Any auxiliary view projected from the plan showing height of
object
Plan is adjacent view, Side-View and Elevation are
alternative views

Direction of sight

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

18

Width Auxiliary View

Any auxiliary view projected from the side-view showing width of
object
Side-View is adjacent view, Plan and Elevation are alternative
views

Direction of sight

Notes

19

An auxiliary view is an orthographic view taken on

planes other than principal projection (PP) planes
(frontal, horizontal, or profile).
Principal dimension shown in auxiliary view is not
shown in the adjacent view from which auxiliary
view is projected.

A primary auxiliary view is projected on the plane

perpendicular to one PP plane and inclined to
other 2 PP planes.
A secondary auxiliary view is projected from
primary auxiliary views.

Lecture 4 Tuesday, 06 May 2014

Other Auxiliary Views

Any auxiliary view projected from the

primary auxiliary view is secondary
auxiliary view
