Remain parallel in any orthographic view

Viewing direction needed to see true shape of surface

Perpendicular to that surface

Purpose of auxiliary views

Finding true lengths and true shapes that are foreshortened

Tetrahedron base on horiz. plane - view showing true shape

Plan view

Inscribed sphere in tetrahedron constraint

Only one size of tetrahedron fits around sphere of given radius

Two stages of finding true shapes

Find edge view, then create view perpendicular to that edge

Parallel projection lines between all views

Point alignment between views rule

Points aligning in one view must align consistently in all views
