Consider the projections of point A in the first quadrant.
Its top view ‘a’ lies on HP and front view ‘al ’ lies on VP.
As HP is rotated clockwise, the top view ‘a’ moves below the XY-line.
Similarly, for the points in the other quadrants .

FINAL CONCLUSION:
# Front view is projected onto VP, while Top View is projected onto HP.
# FV shows the distance from HP & TV shows the distance from VP
Front View: # If a point lies above HP, then its FV is above XY line.
# If a point lies below HP, then its front view is below XY line.
Top View: # If a point is in front of VP, then its TV will be below XY line.
# If a point is behind VP, then its TV will be above XY line.
