Solid Cylinder cut at an angle Drawing Abilities Teacher Solid Cylinder cut at an angle © J Lewis 2004

Orthographic projection Draw the Plan and Elevation of the cylinder, which is cut at an angle of 30 ° Plan Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Drawing generators Divide the plan into 12 equal generators at 30 °, number these as shown Plan Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Inserting reference points Project the vertical generators down to the Elevation and number as shown Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Starting the End Elevation Construct the outline of the End Elevation, point 3 at the front and the generators shown Elevation End Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Drawing horizontal generators Construct horizontals where the vertical generators cross the sloping top of the Elevation Elevation End Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Marking out the shape Now mark the End Elevation. Points are found where horizontal lines cross similar marked generators. Elevation End Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Drawing the ellipse Draw an ellipse passing through the marked points Elevation End Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Starting the End Elevation Construct surface generators on the End Elevation as shown Elevation End Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Drawing the End Elevation Construct horizontals as shown Elevation End Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Drawing the End Elevation Draw a smooth curve as shown on the End Elevation End Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Starting the Plan Construct the lines shown from the Elevation up to the Plan Plan Elevation © J Lewis 2004

Completing the Plan Transfer the measurement on 6 – 12 on the End Elevation to the same generator on the Plan and draw a smooth curve as shown. Plan End Elevation Elevation © J Lewis 2004
