Definition of solids in contact

Geometric objects that physically touch at points or lines

Where contact points appear in projection

In all orthographic views (plan, elevation, auxiliary)

Definition of locus

Path traced by a moving point under specific conditions

Where sphere contacts cone

Where sphere's surface touches cone's slanted face

Sphere & cylinder contact on horizontal plane

Circular plans touch but do not overlap

Definition of tangent plane

Touches solid at one point without intersecting interior

Tangent plane to sphere orientation

Perpendicular to the radius at that point

Tangent plane to cone contact type

Touches along a line (generatrix), not a single point

What is multi-level positioning in solids?

Spheres positioned at different heights maintaining contact

Critical requirement for contact relationships

Projection accuracy between plan and elevation views
