B-3. The 3D graphic on the right shows an MP3 player docking station - Leaving Cert DCG - Question B-3 - 2012

Add details such as the speaker grills and outline the areas where they are recessed. Include any additional design features visible from this angle, such as the flush surface and textures. Make sure the elevation is proportionate and accurately represents the docking station as seen from the front.

Begin by drawing the rectangular base of the docking station in the plan view. The dimensions should reflect the width and depth as viewed from above. Include features like the contour of the docking area and any visible design elements. Ensure that the plan maintains consistent proportions with the elevation.

Add details to the plan, such as the outline of the speaker grills and any other defining features. Ensure that the placement corresponds with the elevation observed earlier, allowing for a coherent representation of the docking station.

Begin by determining the position of the auxiliary elevation relative to surface A. Draw a horizontal line indicating the true dimensions of surface A, which should be determined from the plan. Use this reference to project more detailed views of the surface.

From the plan, project vertical lines upwards to establish the height of features relevant to surface A. Use the respective measurements to ensure accuracy.

Carefully take the height measurements from the elevation and translate them to the auxiliary elevation, making sure all proportions remain consistent.

Outline the shape of surface A on the auxiliary elevation clearly, ensuring it reflects the true shape as projected from both the plan and elevation.

Finalize the auxiliary elevation by adding any remaining details, textures, or annotations. Ensure that all elements are clearly defined for the viewer to understand the true dimensions and features of surface A.
