True Shape

• This type of drawing is asked to be drawn as part
  of a cut, prism, pyramid, cylinder or cone.
• It shows the actual shape of a sloping surface.
• They can be quite confusing but are not as hard
  to produce as they look.

True Shape

• As there are other slides and presentations
  depicting how to draw cut prisms, pyramids,
  cylinders and cones we are not going to show you
  how to do these things in this slideshow.
• Instead we will focus on producing the true shape.

Project the other points that intersect the cut
surface.

intersection between the generator lines and the
curve to the centre line of the circle.
