SECTION OF SOLIDS AND DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACES
1. A hexagonal pyramid, side of base 30 mm and height 65 mm is resting on its base on
HP with two edges parallel to VP. It is cut by a plane perpendicular to VP, inclined at
45o to HP and intersects the axis at a point 25 mm above the base. Draw the sectional
top view and true shape of the section.
2. A cylinder of 40 mm diameter and height 60 mm is having its axis vertical. It is cut by
a plane perpendicular to VP and inclined at 45o to HP and intersecting the axis 32 mm
above the base. Draw its front view, sectional top view, and true shape of section.
3. A right circular cone, of base diameter 60 mm and height 70 mm, rests on its base on
HP. A section plane perpendicular to HP and inclined at 45º to the VP cuts the cone
and is 10 mm in front of the axis. Draw its top view, sectional front view and true shape
of the section.
4. A hexagonal prism, side of base 30 mm and axis 60 mm long rests with its base on
HP and one of its rectangular faces is parallel to VP. It is cut by a plane perpendicular
to VP and inclined at 55o to HP and bisecting the axis. Draw the sectional top view and
the true shape of the section.
5. A hexagonal prism of the side of base 30 mm and axis 70 mm rests on H.P with its
base such that one of its rectangular faces is parallel to V.P. It is cut by a plane
perpendicular to V.P and inclined 45o to HP and passing through the right corner of the
top face of the prism. Draw the development of the rest part of the prism.
6. A pentagonal pyramid of base side 30 mm and axis 60 mm long is resting with its base
on H.P and one edge of the base is perpendicular to V.P. It is cut by a section plane
perpendicular to the V.P and inclined 60 o to HP bisecting the axis. Draw the
development of the lateral surfaces of the truncated pyramid.
7. A square prism of base side 40 mm and axis 70 mm is resting on its base on HP with
two base edges parallel to VP. A cutting plane 45o to HP cuts the prism passing through
a point on the axis which is 40 mm above the base. Draw the development of surface
of the cut prism
8. A vertical chimney of 700 mm diameter joins a roof of an industry, sloping at 35o with
the horizontal. The shortest portion over the roof is 320 mm. Obtain the shape of the
sheet metal from which the chimney can be fabricated. Scale 1:20
9. A hexagonal pyramid of base side 25 mm and height 60 mm rests vertically on HP with
one of its base sides parallel to VP. A string is wound round the surfaces of the pyramid
from the left extreme corner on the base and ending at the same point. Find graphically
the shortest length of the string required. Also trace the path of the string in the front
and top views.

THREE DIMENSIONAL PROJECTIONS
1. A sphere of diameter 45 mm rests centrally over a frustum of a cone of base diameter
60 mm, top diameter 40 mm and height 60 mm. Draw its isometric projections.
2. A cube of side 40 mm is resting centrally on a hexagonal prism base side 40 mm and
height 50 mm such that one of the base sides of the cube is parallel to one of the sides
of the top face of the prism. Draw the isometric projection of the combination.
3. A cone of base diameter 40 mm and axis height 50 mm is placed centrally on the top
of a square slab of side 60 mm and thickness 20 mm. Draw the isometric projection of
the combination of solids.
4. A cylinder of diameter 30 mm and axis length 55 mm is mounted centrally on the top of
a square slab of side 60 mm and thickness 20 mm. Draw the isometric projection of the
combination of solids.
5. Draw the isometric view of the frustum of the hexagonal pyramid shown below.
6. Draw the perspective view of a square pyramid of base side 30 mm and height 45
mm, when it rests on the ground plane (GP). A edge of the base is touching the picture
plane (PP). The station point is situated at a distance of 60 mm in front of the PP, 60
mm above the GP and lies in the central plane which is 40 mm to the right of the axis.
7. Draw the perspective view of a square prism of base side 30 mm and height 60 mm
when its rests on the ground plane (GP) in such a way that the nearest edge of the
base is parallel to and 20 mm behind the picture plane (PP). The station point is situated
at a distance of 40 mm in front of the PP, 75 mm above the GP and lies in a central
plane which is 45 mm to the right of the axis of the prism.
8. A square prism of base side 25 mm and height 50 mm rests on the GP with one of its
rectangular faces such that the nearest base is 10 mm in front of the PP and parallel
to it. The axis of the prism is 25 mm to the right of the station point and the station point
is 60 mm above the GP, 45 mm in front of the PP. Draw the perspective view of the
square prism.
