Step-by-Step Construction

  1. 1

    Draw the triangle in an auxiliary position first

  2. 2

    Since BC is perpendicular to HP, it appears as a point in top view

  3. 3

    BC makes 45° with VP, so in front view it's inclined at 45°

  4. 4

    Corner A is in HP, so in FV it lies on XY

  5. 5

    Project point A in top view

  6. 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
