Step-by-Step Construction

  1. 1

    Draw front view and top view of line AB

  2. 2

    Pass an auxiliary inclined plane (AIP) through the line, perpendicular to VP

  3. 3

    In this AIP, line AB appears in true length

  4. 4

    Top view of AIP is perpendicular to XY

  5. 5

    Draw the rabatment of AIP on HP

  6. 6

    In rabatted position, line shows true length and true angle with HP

  7. 7

    Measure the angle - this is the required inclination

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
