The document discusses sections and developments of solids. It defines sectioning a solid as cutting it with an imaginary cutting plane to understand its internal details. The cutting plane is called the section plane. It describes typical section planes and the shapes they produce for different solids. Development is defined as unfolding the lateral surfaces of a hollow solid to obtain a two-dimensional shape. Developments are used in sheet metal industries for objects that are difficult to manufacture otherwise. Examples of typical section planes and developments of different solids are provided. The objective is to learn methods of developing surfaces, sections and frustums of solids.
