Line of Intersection

between Planes
 Line of Intesection

• Given:
O
Two views
of plane B

ABC and A M

MNOP.
HRP N
FRP C N

 Line of Intersection
C P
Steps:
1. Determine the piercing
O
point R of Line MP on
Plane ABC, then locate R S B
the piercing point S of
line NO, both on the
A
front view. M
2. Project points R and S to
the other view, connect
HRP N
point R to S in both
FRP C N
views.
3. Line RS is the required
B
LINE OF INTERSECTION M S
between plane ABC and
MNOP. O
4. Check visibility. R

Checking Visibility x
1. Project point x (then y)to O
FRP. Check what line does y
the projection line of x R S B
intersect first.
2. The line it intersect first is A
M
the part of the plane that
is visible. The other half is
N
automatically hidden or HRP
FRP C N
below the other plane
3. Repeat steps for checking B
M
the visibility in FRP. S
