NAMING THE CORNERS OF THE SOLIDS


It is desired to name the corners and axis systematically so that the projections can be read and understood easily. Hence in this chapter, the first set of names for corners (say the corners at the base) are marked as A, B, C, D etc., whereas the second set of names for corners (say the corners at the top base) are marked as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., the axis of solid is named as O-P.

The way of naming the corners of some of the Right regular A solids are shown in fig. 14.8(i) and 14.8(ii).
