Q3. A square pyramid of 50 mm base and 70 mm height is resting on one of its base edges on HP.

If the axis is parallel to VP and inclined 45 ° to HP, draw its projections.

1. Draw the xy line and construct a square of 50 mm at a convenient distance from it to get
the top view. Here the base edge cd is kept perpendicular to xy line.
2. Project upwards from the top view and complete the front view as the 2nd.
3. Copy the front view keeping the edge c’d’ on xy line and the base making 45 ° so that, the
axis is inclined 45 ° to HP. This is the 3rd view.
4. Project vertically downwards from the 3rd view and horizontally from the 1st view to get
the intersection points of the 4th view.
5. Convert the outermost lines and the edges representing the top triangular surface into
visible edges. But the crossing line c’d’, which is below, is converted as hidden edge.
6. Finish the views, name all the corners and print the given dimensions to complete the
drawing.
Q4. A hexagonal prism of base side 26 mm and height 60 mm rests with one of its rectangular
faces on HP. If the axis is inclined at 30 ° to VP, draw its projections.

1. Draw the xy line. Place the prism in the simple horizontal position keeping one rectangular
face on HP. The final required inclined position is obtained by tilting the solid about the
line. Draw the front view and then the top view as the 2nd.
2. Copy the top view after rotating, so that the axis makes 30 ° with VP. This is the 3rd view.
3. Project upwards from the 3rd view and project horizontally from the 1st view, so that their
intersection points give the final 4th view.
4. Convert the outermost edges of 4th view to thick lines. Look to the top view (3rd) from the
front side and identify the visible face abcde. Convert this face as visible one in the
elevation (4th), while the parallel face as hidden. Also note that in the view, the line t’d’ is
representing a hidden edge. Since the visible edge q’a’ is coinciding with the hidden edge
from t’ to a’, only the line a’d’ is to be drawn in short dashes.
5. Finish the views, name all the corners and print the given dimensions to complete the
drawing.
Q 5. A square pyramid has its axis inclined at 45 ° to HP and one edge of its base is inclined at 60 °
to VP. If the length of the edge of its base is 36 mm and the height is 50 mm, draw the projections
of the object, keeping one of the edges of its base on HP.

1. Draw the projections of the pyramid, keeping the base on HP and one of the base edges
(LT) perpendicular to VP.
2. Copy the front view after tilting the axis by 45 ° to the xy line. Project horizontally from
the top (1st) view and vertically from the second front (3rd) view to get the second top
(4th) view.
3. Produce the second top view, keeping the edge cd inclined at 60 ° to the xy line (turn the
top view about point c) to get the third top (5th) view. Project horizontally from the second
front view (4th) and vertically from all the points on the third top view (5th) to locate the
corners of the third front (6th) view.
4. Join the points of intersection using continuous thick lines for visible edges and short
dashes for hidden edges.
5. Finish the three sets of views, name the corners and print the given dimensions.
Q 6. A square prism of base side 30 mm and height 50 mm has its axis inclined at 35° to VP and
has a base edge on VP, inclined at 45° to HP. Draw its projections.

1. Draw the projections of the square prism, keeping the axis perpendicular to VP and one
edge of base on VP, perpendicular to xy line (LT).
2. Copy the top view (2nd), after tilting the axis to make 35 ° to the xy line. The edge st of
the base is placed on VP. Project horizontally from the front (1st) view and vertically from
the second top (3rd) view to get the second front (4th) view.
3. Reproduce the second front (4th) view, keeping the edge s’t’ inclined at 45 ° to the xy line,
to get the third front (5th) view. Project horizontally from the second top (3rd) view and
vertically from the third front (5th) view, to get the third top (6th) view.
4. Join the points of intersection using continuous thick lines for visible edges and short
dashes for hidden lines.
5. Finish the three sets of views, name the corners and print the given dimensions.
