 What is Projection of Planes
A plane is a two dimensional object having length and
breadth only .Its thickness is always neglected .Various
shapes of plane figures are considered such as
square, rectangle, circle, pentagon, hexagon, etc.

 Projection of Planes
Meaning of Trace of a Plane
It is defined as the extension of a given plane shape to
the reference plane (HP or VP) to which it is
perpendicular or inclined.
The plane meets the HP or VP as a line. This line is
called trace of a plane.

Horizontal Trace(HT) &Vertical Trace (VT) a plane.

The line in which the plane shape meets the HP is
called HT.
The line in which the plane shape meets the VP is
called as VT.
