Figure 10.14 shows the following views of a regular hexagonal prism, drawn in
third angle projection with the prism tilted at 30 ° in the FE. The top of the prism has
been cut obliquely at 45 ° .

The first view that is drawn is the AP. This is not in the instructions but without it
the FE is very difficult to draw. Arrow A indicates that three sides of the hexagon are
seen in the FE and the AP is constructed so that three sides are seen (rotate the hexa-
gon through 30 ° in the AE and only two sides are seen). The AP is also used to find
the width of the prism in the EE.
Figure 10.15 shows the following views of the frustum of a square pyramid drawn
in first angle projection. The corners of the pyramid are numbered 1 to 4 for easy
identification on each elevation.
