Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Primary
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Auxiliary views are categorized by how many times you depart from the principal planes. The most basic is the primary auxiliary, used to show a single inclined surface in true size by projecting onto a plane perpendicular to one principal plane.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
A primary auxiliary view is obtained by projecting from a principal view onto an auxiliary plane set perpendicular to that principal plane and parallel to the inclined surface. A secondary auxiliary view would project again from the primary auxiliary when a feature is oblique to all principal planes.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Measure an edge in the primary auxiliary and compare with model true length; they should match.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Accidentally aligning the auxiliary plane incorrectly, leading to residual foreshortening.
