The document discusses orthographic projections and projections of solids. It defines orthographic projections as a method of representing the shape of a 3D object on a 2D surface using multiple views. It describes the principal planes used - horizontal plane, vertical frontal plane, and profile plane. It also discusses the first angle and third angle methods of projection. The document then defines different types of solids like polyhedra and solids of revolution. It describes various polyhedra like prisms, pyramids, and their types. It also defines solids of revolution like cylinders, cones, spheres. Important terms used in projections of solids like edges, generators, apex, and axis are also explained.

41. -The shape of the solid is described by
drawing its two orthographic views usually
on the two principle planes i.e. H.P. & V.P.
PROJECTIONS OF
SOLIDSDefinition of Solid:
A solid is a three dimensional object having
length, breadth and thickness. It is
completely bounded by a surface or surfaces
which may be curved or plane.
-For some complicated solids, in addition to
the above principle views, side view is also
required.
-A solid is an aggregate of points, lines and
planes and all problems on projections of
solids would resolve themselves into
projections of points, lines and planes.

42. TYPES OF SOLID

43. Classification of Solids:
Solids may be divided into two main
groups;
(A) Polyhedra
(B) Solids of revolution
(A) Polyhedra :
A Polyhedra is defined as a solid
bounded by planes called faces which
meet in straight lines called edges.

44. There are seven regular Polyhedra
which may be defined as stated below;
(3) Tetrahedron
(4) Cube or Hexahedron:
(5) Octahedron:
(6) Dodecahedron:
(7) Icosahedron:
(1) Prism
(2) Pyramid

45. (1) Prism:
It is a polyhedra having two
equal and similar faces
called its ends or bases,
parallel to each other and
joined by other faces which
are rectangles.
-The imaginary
line joining the
Centres of the
bases or faces is
called Axis of
Prism.
Axis
Faces
Edge

46. According to the shape of its base, prism
can be sub classified into following
types:(a) Triangular
Prism:
(b) Square Prism:

47. (c) Pentagonal
Prism:
(d) Hexagonal
Prism:

48. (2)
Pyramid:This is a polyhedra having plane
surface as a base and a number
of triangular faces meeting at a
point called the Vertex or Apex.
-The imaginary
line joining the
Apex with the
Centre of the
base is called
Axis of pyramid.
Axis
Edge
Base

49. According to the shape of its base, pyramid
can be sub classified into following types:
(a) Triangular
Pyramid:
(b) Square
Pyramid:

50. (c) Pentagonal
Pyramid:
(d) Hexagonal
Pyramid:

51. (B) Solids of
Revolutions:When a solid is generated by revolutions
of a plane figure about a fixed line (Axis)
then such solids are named as solids of
revolution.
Solids of revolutions may be of following
types;
(1) Cylinder
(2) Cone
(3) Sphere
(4) Ellipsoid
(5) Paraboloid
(6) Hyperboloid

52. (1) Cylinder:
A right regular cylinder is a solid
generated by the revolution of a
rectangle about its vertical side
which remains fixed.
Rectangle
Axis
Base

53. (2) Cone:
A right circular cone is a solid
generated by the revolution of a right
angle triangle about its vertical side
which remains fixed.

54. Important Terms Used in Projections of
Solids:
(1) Edge or
generator:
For Pyramids & Prisms, edges are the
lines separating the triangular faces or
rectangular faces from each other.
For Cylinder, generators are the
straight lines joining different points
on the circumference of the bases with
each other

55. Important Terms Used in Projections of
Solids:
(2) Apex of solids:
For Cone and
Pyramids, Apex
is the point
where all the
generators or
the edges meet.

57. Important Terms Used in Projections of
Solids:
(3) Axis of Solid:
For Cone and Pyramids, Axis is an
imaginary line joining centre of
the base to the Apex.
For Cylinder and Prism, Axis is an
imaginary line joining centres of
ends or bases.

58. Important Terms Used in Projections o
Solids:
(4) Right Solid:
A solid is said to
be a Right Solid
if its axis is
perpendicular to
its base.
Axis

59. Important Terms Used in Projections o
Solids:(5) Oblique
Solid:
A solid is said
to be a Oblique
Solid if its axis
is inclined at
an angle other
than 90° to its
base.
Axis
Base

60. Important Terms Used in Projections
of Solids:
(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

61. 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
PYRAMID
CUTTING PLANE
PARALLEL TO
BASE

62. Important Terms Used in Projections
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.

63. STEPS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN SOLIDS
Problem is solved in three steps:
STEP 1: ASSUME SOLID STANDING ON THE PLANE WITH WHICH IT IS MAKING INCLINATION.
( IF IT IS INCLINED TO HP, ASSUME IT STANDING ON HP)
( IF IT IS INCLINED TO VP, ASSUME IT STANDING ON VP)
IF STANDING ON HP - IT’S TV WILL BE TRUE SHAPE OF IT’S BASE OR TOP:
IF STANDING ON VP - IT’S FV WILL BE TRUE SHAPE OF IT’S BASE OR TOP.
BEGIN WITH THIS VIEW:
IT’S OTHER VIEW WILL BE A RECTANGLE ( IF SOLID IS CYLINDER OR ONE OF THE PRISMS):
IT’S OTHER VIEW WILL BE A TRIANGLE ( IF SOLID IS CONE OR ONE OF THE PYRAMIDS):
DRAW FV & TV OF THAT SOLID IN STANDING POSITION:
STEP 2: CONSIDERING SOLID’S INCLINATION ( AXIS POSITION ) DRAW IT’S FV & TV.
STEP 3: IN LAST STEP, CONSIDERING REMAINING INCLINATION, DRAW IT’S FINAL FV & TV.
