Projection of Solids

Projection of Solids
Important Information:
1) The position of a solid (prism, cylinder, cone, pyramid) is stated in the question. The position is with
respect to the H.P. and the V.P. It is required that we should draw the elevation and the plan of that solid.
This position cannot be plotted directly because we will not know the length of a line (edge or generator)
when it is inclined to the plane. We will not know the position of a corner of a solid in space. Hence we
keep the solid in a primary position either on the H.P. or the V.P., draw its views. Then we rotate the solid
with respect to the plane according to the condition given. This way we can finally get the required views
of that solid.
2) The outermost boundary of a solid is always visible, because it is the limit of the space occupied by the
solid. The boundary lines are always dark and continuous, but never dotted.
3) The true inclination with the H.P. is seen in the elevation. The true inclination with the V.P. is seen in the
plan.
4) All the points in the elevation are associated with a dash so that it will be identified as elevation and the
other view will be plan.
5) Whenever the pyramid or the prism stands on the edge, initially the edge should be perpendicular to the
x-y line, and then turn (swivel or rotate) the solid at the given angle. The rotation is always parallel to one
of the principal planes.
6) The generators on the cone and the cylinder are purely imaginary and hence should be extremely light.
7) The inclination of the whole solid should be considered first. Then the inclination of the edge of base
should be considered.
8) If in the plan, the apex or the top of the solid is away from the observer, then in the corresponding
elevation, the base of the solid will be visible and hence dark. Conversely, if the apex or top is nearer to
the observer, then in the corresponding elevation, the base will not be visible.
9) If a line (edge, axis, generator) is inclined at an angle with H.P. and also inclined with the V.P. then we
have to plot the apparent angle. If the two inclinations when added, are equal to 90 degrees, then the
apparent angle is equal to 90 degrees and the elevation and plan of the line will be perpendicular to the X-
Y line.
10) If a solid is suspended by a thread tied to the solid at some point, then the line of action passes through
the center of gravity of the solid. In the case of cylinder and prism, the mid- point of the axis is the center
of gravity. In the case of pyramids and cones, the center of gravity is at a height of ¼ th the height along
the axis, from the base.

SECTIONS OF SOLIDS
Important information:
1) The position of the solid (prism, cylinder, cone, pyramid) with respect to the H.P. and V.P. is stated in the
question. Accordingly, draw two views - elevation and plan of the solid.
2) Further, the solid is cut by a cutting plane. The cutting plane may be of one of the following types—
a) Cutting plane is parallel to the V.P. and perpendicular to the H.P.—it will be shown as a line on
the plan. This line will be parallel to the X -Y line.
b) Cutting plane is parallel to the H.P. and perpendicular to the V.P.—it will be shown as a
line on the elevation. This line will be parallel to the X -line.
c) Cutting plane is perpendicular to both the H.P. and the V.P.---it will be shown as a line on the
elevation or on the plan.
d) Cutting plane is perpendicular to the V.P. and inclined to the H.P.—it will be shown as a line on
the elevation.
e) Cutting plane is perpendicular to the H.P. and inclined to the V.P.---it will be shown as a line on
the plan.
3) The part of the solid in-between the observer and the cutting plane is assumed to be discarded, hence, it
should be drawn very light.
4) In the case of the prisms and the pyramids, the edges are cut. In the case of the cylinders and the cones,
the generators are cut.
5) The points where the edges and the generators get cut, should be projected from one view to the other
on the corresponding edge or the generator.
6) When joined in proper sequence this will give the apparent shape of the section.
7) The true shape of the section.- Draw X -Y line, parallel to the cutting plane line and at a suitable
distance. Project the points from the cutting plane perpendicularly to the X – Y line. In the compass,
measure the distance of a point of the apparent shape from the X -Y line and transfer it to the
corresponding projector from X1-Y1 line. When joined in proper sequence, this will give the true shape
of the section.
8) In some cases, we have to rotate the solid to transfer the points from one view to the other.
9) In some cases, we have to transfer the points via the 450 line.
10) Indirect questions- In some questions, the position of the cutting plane is not given, instead, the
measurements of the true shape are given. Using the data, we have to fix the position of the cutting
plane and then solve the problem.
a) Square prism/cube - 1) rhombus 2) equilateral triangle or largest possible triangle 3) trapezium 4)
rectangle ( For Cube - regular hexagon )
b) Cone - 1) circle 2) triangle 3) ellipse 4) parabola 5) hyperbola
c) Square pyramid - 1) triangle 2) trapezium
d) Tetrahedron - 1) isosceles triangle 2) square
e) Cylinder - 1) ellipse 2) rectangle.

section is a parabola of 60mm height. Draw the front view, sectional top view and the true
shape of the section.
32) A cone of 70 mm diameter of base and 60mm length of axis stands on its base on H.P. It is
cut by an A.I.P. so that the true shape of the section is a isosceles triangle with the vertex
angle of 500 Set the required cutting plane and draw front view, sectional top view and the
true shape of the section.
33) A cylinder of 50mm diameter and length of axis 80mm has its axis parallel to H.P. and
inclined at 300 to the V.P. It is cut by a section plane inclined to the V.P and perpendicular
to H.P., so that the true shape of the section is an ellipse of 70mm. major axis. Draw the top
view, sectional front view and the true shape of the section.
34) A pentagonal pyramid of 32mm side of base and 70mm axis length has one of its slant
edges on the H.P. parallel to V.P. with the axis also parallel to V.P. A vertical section plane
inclined at 300 to V.P. cuts the pyramid bisecting the axis. Draw the sectional front view, top
view and the true shape of the section.
35) A cylinder of 50mm diameter and 80mm length of axis has its axis parallel to H.P. and
inclined at 300 to the V.P. It is cut by a section plane inclined to the V.P. and perpendicular
to the H.P. so that the true shape of the section is an ellipse of 70- mm major axis. Draw the
top view, sectional front view and the true shape of the section.
36) A glass tumbler is in the form of a frustum of a cone—top diameter =60mm bottom diameter
=35 height =60. It is completely filled with water and then tilted on the rim of its bottom face
so that its axis remains at 450 to H.P. and parallel to V.P.. Obtain the projections of the
tumbler and show the water surface in both the views.
37) A tetrahedron of 50mm edges has a triangular face in the V.P. with an edge of that face
parallel and nearer to H.P. A cutting plane perpendicular to H.P. and at 450 to V.P. cuts the
pyramid through the mid point of the axis. Draw three views and the true shape of the
section.
38) A semi-cone of diameter 80mm and axis 90mm is resting on its semicircular base on H.P.
such that the triangular face of the semi-cone is parallel to V.P. and away from the
observer. It is cut by a section plane perpendicular to V.P. and inclined at 450 to H.P.
passing through the mid-point of the axis. Draw the sectional plan, front view & the true
shape of the section. Also add a right hand side view showing the sectional detail on it. (M-

39) A pentagonal prism with 30mm edge of pentagon and 60mm length of axis rests on one of
its longer edges on the H.P. having a face containing that edge at 300 to H.P. The axis
being parallel to both the H.P. and the V.P. and in this position only two faces of the prism
are visible in the F.V. It is cut by a plane whose H.T. is inclined at 300 to V.P. bisecting the
axis of the prism. Draw sectional front view, top view and the true shape of the section.
40) A cube of 50mm edges is kept on its square base on H.P. with all the edges of the base
equally inclined to the H.P. A cutting plane perpendicular to V.P. and inclined to the H.P.
cuts the cube so that the true shape of the section is a trapezium. One side of the trapezium
is equal to the diagonal of the square and the opposite parallel side is half the diagonal.
Draw the front view, sectional top view and the true shape of the section.
