Development of surfaces of a prism
• The surfaces (faces and
bases) of a solid which is
opened out and laid on a flat
plane is called as the
development of surfaces of
that object.
• In square prism, when the
faces are opened out, its faces
are seen as four rectangles of
same size and two square
bases as shown in figure.

Parallel Line Method
• Parallel line method is used to
draw development of prisms and
cylinder.
• For example, in a square prism,
two stretch-out lines whose
length equal to perimeter of base
are drawn parallel to each other
with the gap between them
equal to the axis length and
rectangular faces are marked on
the development.
• The bases are opened out and
drawn in an arbitrary position.

Example 1: A hexagonal prism of base side 30 mm and height 50 mm
rests vertically on HP with a side of base parallel to VP. Draw the
development of the surfaces of the prism.

• Draw TV, project FV of the chimney. Draw trace of the
cutting plane at 35º to XY as shown. Mark the new
corners in FV.
• Draw the development as discussed earlier and project the
new corners to the development.

Example 5: A cube of 40 mm edge stands on one of its faces on HP with
a vertical face making 45° to VP. A horizontal hole of 20 mm diameter is
drilled centrally through the cube, such that the hole passes through the
opposite vertical edge of the cube. Obtain the development of the lateral
surface of the cube with the hole.
• Draw TV, project FV of cube.
Draw the hole in FV as shown.
• Divide the circle in to 8 equal
parts and project the points to
the top view.
• Draw development of cube and
mark the position of the points
from TV to the development,
then project them as shown.
• Join all points to complete the
development of hole as an
ellipse.

Tips to draw Development of
Surfaces
• Draw the projections of the solid, then draw the
trace of the cutting plane. Carefully mark the new
corners on the edges/generators which are cut by the
cutting plane.
• First draw the development with 2H pencil. Then
project and mark new points on the development
and darken the remaining portion with HB pencil to
complete the development.
• To draw the development of the lateral surfaces,
bases need not be shown.
