Question

A cube is resting on H.P on one of its corners with a solid diagonal perpendicular to the V.P. What are the front views of 1st, 2nd, 3rd stages while drawing orthographic projections?

(a) Rectangle, rectangle, regular hexagon

(b) Square, irregular hexagon, irregular hexagon

(c) Rectangle, rectangle, irregular hexagon

(d) Square, regular hexagon, regular hexagon

The question was posed to me in my homework.

The query is from Projection of Solids with Axes Inclined to both Horizontal and Vertical Plane topic in division Projection of Solids of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) Rectangle, rectangle, regular hexagon

For explanation I would say: As in the 1^st stage the cube is to placed in the position occurred when the diagonal of base perpendicular to V.P so front view gives rectangle and then rotated so as to keep one of the corners only on H.P so the front view will be rectangle then if we make diagonal perpendicular to V.P the front view will be regular hexagon.
