Any RP other than HRP, FRP and

PRP are referred as RP1, RP2,
RP3, etc. The views produced by
TOP these RPs are called first auxiliary

Heres how:
A

1. Connect the As OR draw a

B
line perpendicular to HRP
passing through one of the
HRP As.
FRP
A
The two options will yield the
same line which passes
through the As and is
perpendicular to HRP.
