  • Non-Adjacent View. A view that is not located to the side of, directly above, or directly beneath another view. As an example, when views are arranged according to the intuitive layout shown in this book, the side view is adjacent to the front, rear, top and bottom views because they are arranged around it (above, below, and on either side). On the other hand, the front and rear views are not adjacent to the top or bottom views – but are adjacent to the side view. When views are not adjacent, a miter line can be used to transfer points between them.

  • Non-Normal Line. Any line that is not a normal line. Non-normal lines may be either inclined or oblique.

  • Non-Normal Plane. Any plane that is not a normal plane. Non-normal planes may be either inclined or oblique.

  • Normal. A direction perpendicular to the face of a surface or plane. As an example, if a plane is a horizontal plane represented by the "x" and "y" axes, a line normal to this plane would be a vertical line representing the "z" axis.

  • Normal Line. A line parallel to two principal planes of projection, but perpendicular to the third.

  • Normal Plane. A plane that is parallel to two principal planes of projection at the same time.

  • Normal View. An orthographic plan view derived from one of the three principal planes of projection. All six principal plan views (top, bottom, left, right, front, rear) are normal views. On the other hand, an auxiliary view is not a normal view because it is projected from an auxiliary plane of projection not parallel with any of the principal planes of projection.
