parallel projection

noun

Geometry.

1. a projection from one plane to a second plane in which the lines joining points on the first plane and corresponding images are parallel.

Example Sentences

We draw a line through B1, say B1P1, cutting α′ in C. To it corresponds the line CP, and the point where this is cut by the projecting ray through B1, perpendicular to α′, is the required point B. Similarly any figure in the rabatted plane can be found when the plan is known; but this is usually found in a different manner without any reference to the general theory of parallel projection.
