Step-by-Step Construction
- 1
Draw the triangle in an auxiliary position first
- 2
Since BC is perpendicular to HP, it appears as a point in top view
- 3
BC makes 45° with VP, so in front view it's inclined at 45°
- 4
Corner A is in HP, so in FV it lies on XY
- 5
Project point A in top view
- 6
Complete both projections ensuring 50mm sides are maintained
Pro Tips
- •Always verify your measurements with a scale before finalizing the drawing
- •Use construction lines lightly and darken the final solution
- •Label all important points and reference lines clearly
