Unit 7 – EVERYDAY SHAPES – CYLINDERS & CONES Sheet 1
DATE :
For your Standard Grade exam in June of S4, you will be required to know how to draw
certain views of cylinders and cones. The full range of ORTHOGRAPHIC views will be
required. That is, ELEVATION, END ELEVATION and PLAN. You will also need to know
how to draw DEVELOPMENTS of both shapes. What would the DEVELOPMENT of a
cylinder look like ? What would the DEVELOPMENT of a cone look like ?
Cylinders and Cones are all around us. A large
number of everyday items are basically
cylindrical or conical.
How many can you come up with ?

Here is an object which is basically cylindrical. Drawing the
ORTHOGRAPHIC views of the soup tin is not too difficult. What
will require a bit more thought however, is how we can construct
the DEVELOPMENT of the soup tin.
WHAT BASIC SHAPE WILL THE DEVELOPMENT BE ?
The ELEVATION of a Campbell’s soup tin is shown along with
the PLAN. Using the 450 direction changer, construct the END
ELEVATION of the tin.
Then, draw the DEVELOPMENT of the outer surface of the tin,
ignoring the top and bottom.
If you take a hollow cylinder, open it out and lay it flat, you will be left with a
rectangle. The height of the rectangle will be set by the height of the cylinder. The
length of the rectangle will be set by the circumference of the cylinder. Take a look
at the graphic below . . .

You should put numbers on the DEVELOPMENT to help you construct it
accurately. It becomes particularly useful when the DEVELOPMENT is not simply
a rectangle but something more complex.

This time the same Heinz beans tin has been drawn lying on it’s side
in the ELEVATION.
Next, draw the END ELEVATION of the tin. Then . . .
Draw the END ELEVATION of the tin.
Draw the DEVELOPMENT of the outer surface of the tin, ignoring the top and bottom.
Then, draw the DEVELOPMENT of the outer surface of the tin,

This time the PLAN of a Heinz beans tin is shown along with the partial ELEVATION.
Using the other information given, complete the ELEVATION of the tin.

Here you are given the PLAN and the
ELEVATION of the pencil holder.
Here is a sketch of a pencil holder. You are also given three ORTHOGRAPHIC
views along with the DEVELOPMENT of the pencil holder.
Study carefully how the END ELEVATION was created. Also look carefully at
how the DEVELOPMENT was created. Your teacher will talk you through
drawing both of these views.
From what you have learned from the exercise
on the other half of this page, complete the
END ELEVATION.
Now complete the DEVELOPMENT.

Look at the numbers in the
ELEVATION and compare them
with the numbers in the END
ELEVATION. They are different.
Make sure you understand why. If
you don’t . . . ASK !
