-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 OFSOLIDS
Definition 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.

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.

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

(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.

Edge

According to the shape of its base, prism can be sub classified into
followingtypes:
(a)TriangularPrism:
(b)SquarePrism:

(c)PentagonalPrism:
(d)HexagonalPrism:

(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.

Base

According to the shape of its base, pyramid can be sub classified into
followingtypes:
(a)TriangularPyramid:
(b)SquarePyramid:

(c)PentagonalPyramid:
(d)HexagonalPyramid:

(B)SolidsofRevolutions:
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

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

(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.

ImportantTermsUsedinProjectionsofSolids:
(1)Edgeorgenerator:
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

(2) Apex of solids:
For Cone and
Pyramids, Apex
is the point
where all the
generators or
the edges meet.

(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.

(4) Right Solid:
A solid is said to
be a Right Solid
if its axis is
perpendicular to
its base.

(5)ObliqueSolid:
A solid is said
to be a Oblique
Solid if its axis
is inclined at
an angle other
than 90° to its
base.

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

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.
