Object Details
- Jullien, A.
- Description
- Plane APA’ and point (m, m’) are given. Construct the line on the plane with largest slope or inclination from the horizontal. Theory says that this line would be perpendicular to the horizontal trace of the plane, line PA. So the result is the black string from point c on the horizontal plane to point A’ on the vertical plane. The red string from point A is in the plane; the red string from point d forms the plane perpendicular to plane APA’ that the line lies on. All three lines meet at point (m, m’).
