6.6 Prisms (problem) Position of a Solid with Respect to the Reference Planes

The position of solid in space may be specified by the location of either the axis, base, edge,

diagonal or face with the principal planes of projection. The following are the positions of a solid

considered.

1. Axis perpendicular to one of the principal planes.


2. Axis parallel to both the principal planes.


3. Axis inclined to one of the principal planes and parallel to the other.


4. Axis inclined to both the principal planes.
   The position of solid with reference to the principal planes may also be grouped as follows:


5. Solid r~g on its base.
