To obtain a view in which a line appears as a point, the auxiliary plane must be set

  • A.coincident with the horizontal plane throughout
  • B.perpendicular to the line, after a view showing its true length
  • C.parallel to the line, after a view showing it foreshortened
  • D.at forty-five degrees to the line in plan

Answer: B

Correct answer: perpendicular to the line, after a view showing its true length

The point view requires looking along the line, so the auxiliary plane must be perpendicular to it. That direction can only be established once a view showing the line at true length exists, since the line must be seen undistorted before the perpendicular to it can be set out. Two successive auxiliaries are therefore needed.
