This document discusses sections and developments of solids. It begins by defining sectioning of a solid as cutting it with an imaginary cutting plane to understand its internal details. The cutting plane is called the section plane. It then discusses different types of section planes and their appearances in projections. Later it defines development as unfolding the lateral surfaces of a hollow solid to show its total surface area as a 2D shape. Various engineering applications of developments are listed. The document provides examples of typical section planes and shapes, and methods for developing different solids, sections and frustums. It concludes with sample problems demonstrating how to draw sections, developments and true shapes of cut solids.
