cutting plane

uprooted shane

right heres the deal,. im in college, did tec last year, and today, i had to do a question, where i had a solid object being cut by a plane. i was given 3 points on the object that the plane passed through.

so i joind them all together, and made a plane out of them in plan, and drew a horo line, and got its true length, then looked parallel to it, but what do i do then to find the parts of the object that are cut by the plane?

any help would be savage, i wouldn mind but i could do this in my sleep last year:D


best of luck 2 you all

What was the object being cut?

After looking along the parallel line, what you need to do is bring the intersections with the sides of the objects back from the projection on to the plan, and then you'll be able to draw in the lines showing where it's cut, if that makes sense. Kind of hard to describe without drawing it out.

EDIT: Why did you get the truelength?
