• Need for Auxiliary View - Hooks / Set

  Using a projector, open an orthographic working drawing without an inclined or sloping surface.  Assess their prior knowledge of the standard views (front, top, and right side views.  Review for content.  Open a second orthographic working drawing that contains a sloping or inclined surface.  Ask students how they would handle sloping surfaces when not see the true length. 

  • Auxiliary View [ View Image ] [ Download Original ] Auxiliary view projected perpendicular from the inclined surface
  • Axillary View Drawing With General Notes [ View Image ] [ Download Original ] An auxiliary view projected from the principle view with dimensions in decimal inches. Also with general notes
• Drawing Samples - Lecture

  Provide a handout of an isometric part that includes sloping surface.  I would provide the students with why we need an "auxiliary view" to correctly provide the information to build the product. 

  Show the power point "Auxiliary Views" with additional information to the students.  Emphasize projection perpendicular to the inclined edge to create the auxiliary view.

  Additional vocabulary would be introduced at this time.  Issue  additional samples fo completed auxiliary drawings to give the students examples of what is expected.  As the drawings are reviewed the vocabulary needed would also be expressed.

• Sketching Activity - Lecture

  Provide a completed working drawing with dimensions that includes a sloping surface. Review the drawing with the students emphasizing proper use of vocabulary.

  Issue a second working drawing handout which includes the principle views shown.  I would have a similar drawing on the projector and the students will sketch the auxiliary view using perpendicular lines and related steps to compete the assignment.  Move around the lab visually checking for understanding.

  Second day of activity.

       Students are issued a second working drawing that need an  auxiliary view and proceed to provide the necessary views (including the auxiliary view) with dimensions.

  1 . Students will create lines perpendicular to the line that represents the inclined.

  2.  Have students project lines from the top view (in this case) to the front view and copy the inclined lines to the opposite end of the perpendicular lines.

  3.  Transfer the depth dimensions to the auxiliary view using construction lines.

  4.  Finish the auxiliary view by transferring the remaining dimensions..

  5.  Develop object lines and add required dimensions.

  • Auxiliary View Problem [ View Image ] [ Download Original ] Students will redraw the front view, add a partial top view, and add the auxiliary view with dimensions to 2 place decimal inches.
