How do you create an auxiliary view from a solid model?

What will be an ideal response?


When an auxiliary view from a 3-D solid model is needed, creating it is a relatively easy task. Recall that an auxiliary view is created by "looking" perpendicular to the inclined surface. With 3-D modeling software, you usually can select a plane on the object to define the viewing plane. The software will then rotate the object in space so the selected plane is parallel to the computer screen, meaning the plane will appear in true size and shape. With some software, you will be able to show only the plane; with other software, you will be forced to show the entire object from this viewpoint. However, since this auxiliary view is so simple to create, showing the entire object is a small price to pay.


Also, note that the software can just as easily show the true size and shape of an oblique surface and that successive auxiliary views are not required in this application.
