1. The document discusses sections of solids and development of surfaces of solids. It provides definitions and illustrations of sectioning a solid using section planes, and developing the surface of a solid.
2. Methods of developing surfaces are described for prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids, and other shapes. Common engineering applications of development include sheet metal works.
3. Several example problems are provided to illustrate finding sectional views, true shapes of sections, and developing the surfaces of remaining solids for various objects cut by different section planes.
