Question

When the plane surface is held with its surface parallel to one of the planes of projection, the view of the plane surface projected on it will be in __________

(a) apparent shape

(b) point shape

(c) true shape

(d) line shape

The question was posed to me in semester exam.

Query is from Projections of Planes topic in section Orthographic Projection, Projections of Lines, Planes and Solids of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right option is (c) true shape

To elaborate: When the plane surface is held with its surface parallel to one of the planes of projection, the view of the plane surface projected on it will be in true shape because all the sides or the edges of the plane surface will be parallel to the plane of projection on which the plane surface is projected.
