Question

If a point P is placed in between the projection planes in third quadrant. The distance from side view to reference line towards front view and the distance between top view and reference line towards top view will be same.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in an online interview.

This key question is from Projection of Points in Third Quadrant topic in chapter Projection of Points of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

For explanation I would say: The projection will be drawn by turning the other planes parallel to vertical plane in clockwise direction along the lines of intersecting of planes. And so as we fold again the planes at respective reference lines and then drawing perpendiculars to the planes at those points the point of intersection gives the point P.
