This document discusses different types of solids and their properties. It provides steps for solving problems involving solids. Group A solids like cylinders and prisms have bases and tops of the same shape. Group B solids like cones and pyramids have a point top called an apex. Problems involving solids are solved in three steps: 1) assume the solid is standing on its plane of inclination, 2) draw front and top views considering the inclination axis, 3) draw final views considering any remaining inclinations. Several example problems are provided and walked through step-by-step to demonstrate how to draw the projections of solids in different orientations. Freely suspended solids have their
