-The shape of the solid is described bydrawing its two orthographic views usuallyon the two principle planes i.e. H.P. & V.P.
PROJECTIONS OF SOLIDSDefinition of Solid:A solid is a three dimensional object havinglength, breadth and thickness. It iscompletely bounded by a surface or surfaceswhich may be curved or plane.
-For some complicated solids, in addition tothe above principle views, side view is alsorequired.
-A solid is an aggregate of points, lines andplanes and all problems on projections ofsolids would resolve themselves intoprojections of points, lines and planes.
Classification of Solids:
Solids may be divided into two maingroups;
(A) Polyhedra
(B) Solids of revolution
(A) Polyhedra :
A Polyhedra is defined as a solidbounded by planes called faces whichmeet in straight lines called edges.
There are seven regular Polyhedrawhich may be defined as stated below;
(3) Tetrahedron
(4) Cube or Hexahedron:
(5) Octahedron:
(6) Dodecahedron:
(7) Icosahedron:
(1) Prism
(2) Pyramid
(1) Prism:
It is a polyhedra having twoequal and similar facescalled its ends or bases,parallel to each other andjoined by other faces whichare rectangles.
-The imaginaryline joining theCentres of thebases or faces iscalled Axis ofPrism.

Faces
Edge
According to the shape of its base, prism can be sub classified intofollowing types:
(a) Triangular Prism:
(b) Square Prism:
(2) Pyramid:
This is a polyhedra having planesurface as a base and a numberof triangular faces meeting at apoint called the Vertex or Apex.
-The imaginaryline joining theApex with theCentre of thebase is calledAxis of pyramid.

Base
According to the shape of its base, pyramid can be sub classified intofollowing types:
(a) Triangular Pyramid:
(b) Square Pyramid:
(B) Solids of Revolutions:When a solid is generated by revolutionsof a plane figure about a fixed line (Axis)then such solids are named as solids ofrevolution.
Solids of revolutions may be of followingtypes;
(1) Cylinder
(2) Cone
(3) Sphere
(4) Ellipsoid
(5) Paraboloid
(6) Hyperboloid
(1) Cylinder:
A right regular cylinder is a solidgenerated by the revolution of arectangle about its vertical sidewhich remains fixed.
Rectangle

(2) Cone:
A right circular cone is a solidgenerated by the revolution of a rightangle triangle about its vertical sidewhich remains fixed.

Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(1) Edge or generator:
For Pyramids & Prisms, edges are thelines separating the triangular faces orrectangular faces from each other.
For Cylinder, generators are thestraight lines joining different pointson the circumference of the bases witheach other
Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(2) Apex of solids:
For Cone andPyramids, Apexis the pointwhere all thegenerators orthe edges meet.

Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(3) Axis of Solid:
For Cone and Pyramids, Axis is animaginary line joining centre ofthe base to the Apex.
For Cylinder and Prism, Axis is animaginary line joining centres ofends or bases.
Important Terms Used in Projections of Solids:
(4) Right Solid:
A solid is said tobe a Right Solidif its axis isperpendicular toits base.

(5) Oblique Solid:
A solid is saidto be a ObliqueSolid if its axisis inclined atan angle otherthan 90° to its
base.

(6) Regular Solid:
A solid is said to be a Regular Solid if
all the edges of the base or the end
faces of a solid are equal in length and
form regular plane figures
Important Terms Used in Projections
of Solids:
(7) Frustum of Solid:
When a Pyramid or a
Cone is cut by a Plane
parallel to its base,
thus removing the top
portion, the remaining
lower portion is called
its frustum. FRUSTUM OF A

of Solids:
(8) Truncated Solid :
When a Pyramid or a
Cone is cut by a Plane
inclined to its base,
thus removing the top
portion, the remaining
lower portion is said to
be truncated.

side of base 30 mm and height of
axis as 75mm rests on HP on one
of its base corners such that its
long edge containing the corner is
inclined to the HP at 60°. Draw its
projections.
