PROJECTIONS OF SOLIDS
Introduction
An object having three dimensions, i.e., length, breadth and height is called as solid.
In orthographic projection, minimums of two views are necessary to represent a solid.
Front view is used to represent length and height and the top view is used to represent
length and breadth.
Sometimes the above two views are not sufficient to represent the details. So a third
view called as side view either from left or from right is necessary.
Objectives
At the end of this session, you will be able to
Classify the different types of solids
Draw the projections of solids in various positions in the given quadrant
Classification of Solids
Solids are classified into two groups. They are
Polyhedra
Solids of Revolution
Polyhedra
A solid, which is bounded by plane surfaces or faces, is called apolyhedron.
Polyhedra are classified into three sub groups; these are
1. Regular Polyhedra
2. Prisms
3. Pyramids
1. Regular Polyhedra
Polyhedra are regular if all their plane surfaces are regular polygons of the same
shape and size. The regular plane surfaces are called "Faces" and the lines connecting
adjacent faces are called "edges".
2. Prisms:
A prism has two equal and similar end faces called the top face and the bottom face or
(base) joined by the other faces, which may be rectangles or parallelograms.
3. Pyramids:
A pyramid has a plane figure as at its base and an equal number of isosceles triangular
faces that meet at a common point called the "vertex" or "apex". The line joining the apex
and a corner of its base is called the slant edge. Pyramids are named according to the
shapes of their bases.
Solids of Revolution:
If a plane surface is revolved about one of its edges, the solid generated is called a Solid
ofRevolution.
Cone
A cone can be generated by the revolution of a right-angled triangle about one of its
perpendicular sides, which remains fixed. A cone has a circular base and an apex. Theline
joining apex and the centre of the base is called the “Axis” of the cone.
Sphere
A sphere can be generated by the revolution of a semi-circle about its diameter that
remains fixed.
Cylinder

Axis inclined to one of the principal planes and parallel to the other. When the axis of a
solid is inclined to any plane, the projections are obtained in two stages. In the first stage,
the axis of the solid is assumed to be perpendicular to the plane to which it is actually
inclined and the projections are drawn. In second stage, the position of one of the
projections is altered to satisfy the given condition and the other view is projected from it.
This method of obtaining the projections is known as the change of position method.
In the change of reference line method, or auxiliary plan method an auxiliary plane is
introduced as stipulated and the required final front view is projected on it. This means that
a new reference line is to be drawn to represent the auxiliary plane and the required
projection drawn
