Orthographic Projections, ContinuedMiter linesMiter lines are a convenient method for laying out a third view when drawingthe primary planes or views on paper. Any horizontal movement of the miterline to the left or right controls the distance between the views to allow spacefor dimensioning.To use a miter line to draw a third view, use this table:Step1ActionPlace a horizontal and vertical centerline between the two views atany convenient distance (lines AB and CD).2Draw a miter line to the intersection of the horizontal and verticalcenterlines (figure 6-27, view A).3Lightly draw projectors from the top view to the miter line (figure6-27, view B).4Lightly draw vertical projectors from the points of intersection ofthe miter line and horizontal projectors.5Using the front view, draw horizontal projectors to the verticalprojectors. The result is the outline and placement of the third view(figure 6-27, view D).Continued on next page6-32
