Assignment – IV
Keep the drawing sheet neat and clean. Provide dimensions wherever applicable.

1. A cube with 60 mm sides has one of its faces on the ground while two faces are inclined at 30°
to the VP. It is cut by a sectional plane inclined at 60° to the HP, perpendicular to the VP, and
bisecting the axis of the cube. Draw the front view, sectional top view, and the true shape of the
section.
2. A cone, 80 mm in diameter at the base and axis 80 mm long, rests on its base. A section plane,
inclined at 30° to the VP and perpendicular to the HP, cuts the cone 10 mm away from the axis.
Draw the top view, sectional front view, and the true shape of the section. Name the true shape.
3. A square pyramid, with 40 mm sides at its base and 70 mm axis height, is lying on one of its
triangular faces on the ground so that the axis is parallel to the VP. It is cut by a horizontal
sectional plane, which bisects the axis of the pyramid. Draw the front view and sectional top
view of the pyramid.
4. A triangular prism has 40 mm sides at its base and 80 mm axis. It rests on one of its
rectangular faces with the axis inclined at 30° to the VP and parallel to the HP. It is cut by a
cutting plane perpendicular to the VP, inclined at 30° to the HP and passing through a point on
the axis, 10 mm from end surface nearer to observer. Draw the front view and sectional top view
of the prism.
5. A pentagonal pyramid of side 35 mm and height 75 mm has its base in HP. and one of its base
side makes an angle of 30° to VP. It is cut by a section plane inclined at 30° to HP and
perpendicular to VP and intersecting the axis at a distance of 35 mm above the base Draw its
sectional front view, sectional top view and true shape.
6. A hexagonal prism, side of base 35 mm and height 75 mm is resting on one of its corners on
the HP with a longer edge containing that corner inclined at 60° to the HP and a rectangular face
parallel to the VP. A horizontal section plane cuts the prism in two equal halves. Draw the front
view and sectional top view of the cut prism. Also draw the top view on an auxiliary inclined
plane which makes an angle of 45° with the HP.
7. A cylinder, 60 mm in diameter and with an axis 90 mm long, has its axis parallel to the HP
and inclined at 30° to the VP. It is cut by a sectional plane inclined to the VP and perpendicular
to the HP so that the true shape of the section is an ellipse with a 70 mm major axis. Draw the
top view, sectional front view and the true shape of the section, if minimum portion of the
cylinder is removed.
