When a part is touching primary and secondary datum planes and comes in contact with a tertiary plane, it theoretically touches the tertiary plane in ____.

A) four or more points
B) three points
C) two points
D) one point

Tertiary Plane

A plane that is oriented to intersect or be parallel with the primary and secondary planes in a three-dimensional coordinate system.

Primary Datum

A reference point, line, or plane from which dimensions are measured in technical drawing or CAD modeling.

Secondary Datum

A reference point, line, or surface used in conjunction with primary datums to establish a part’s orientation or location for measurement and manufacturing.

  • Comprehend the concept of contact points between a component and reference planes in measurement or assembly contexts.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
When a part is touching primary and secondary datum planes and then comes in contact with a tertiary plane, it theoretically touches the tertiary plane at one point. This is because the primary datum establishes a plane, the secondary datum establishes a line (requiring two points of contact), and the tertiary datum establishes a single point of contact, ensuring full spatial constraint without over-constraining the part.
