1. The document discusses sections of solids and development of surfaces of solids. It provides definitions and illustrations of sectioning a solid using section planes, and developing the surface of a solid.
2. Methods of developing surfaces are described for prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids, and other shapes. Common engineering applications of development include sheet metal products.
3. The document contains examples of problems involving drawing projections of solids, sectional views, true shapes of sections, and developments of surfaces for various solids that are cut by different section planes.
