Any two linesin space can be intersecting, non-
intersecting, parallel, perpendicular or skewed to
each other
Various relationships between a line and a plane are
possible: line parallel to a plane, perpendicular to a
plane, intersecting or non-intersecting with the
plane, etc
Given orthographic views of two lines or lines and
planes: to find the relationship between them
Relationship between Lines and Planes

Relationship between Linesand Planes
We will learn about
Conditions for intersection, parallelism, and
perpendicularity of lines
Shortest distance from a point to a line
Shortest distance from a line to a line
Conditions for intersection, parallelism, and
perpendicularity of planes
Line piercing a plane and its visibility
Angle between two planes
19.

Lines thathave common ‘space direction’ (i.e. slope
and bearing) are parallel lines
Lines may appear to be parallel in one or even two
views but may not be parallel
Parallel lines will remain parallel in ALL the views
H
F
Are the two lines parallel?
Yes !
Oblique lines are parallel if they
appear parallel in any two
principal orthographic views
P
Parallel Lines
21
Case A: Yes!AB and CD are perpendicular to each other
Case B: Yes! AB and CD are perpendicular to each other
Case C: May or may not be perpendicular to each other, need to
check using an Auxiliary View with one of these lines in TL
Perpendicular Lines

If the lines are making a 90o
angle in an auxiliary view where one of
the lines in TL, the lines are perpendicular to each other
Think: If two lines (none
in TL) appears to meet at
90o
in a view, are they
perpendicular to each
other?

The conceptof perpendicular lines can be used to
determine shortest distance from a point to a line
Given: AB in TL and O and AB are in same vertical plane
O
F

TL P
What is the shortest distance
between O and AB?
What is the TL of this shortest
distance?
OP! Because O and AB are
in the same vertical plane
Shortest Distance from a Point to a Line

Is OPperpendicular to AB?
Yes!
Is the TL of OP seen in F
view?
No, it needs to be found
out in an auxiliary view
Shortest Distance from a Point to a Line
Given: AB in TL and O and AB are in same vertical plane
TL

6. O isnot fixed in space,
somewhere in line AB
7. Project OP back in A1, H,
and F views (from A2)
9. How do you locate
point O in A1?
8. Notice that P is in CD
and O is in AB
5. CD is NOT in TL in A2. OP is the
required TL of the shortest distance
between AB and CD (in A2)
