OK then if you are not keen on Maths as modellers you might find technical drawings a bit more interesting. Have a look at the attached. It shows a sketch, not to scale, of the front elevation and the side elevation of a solid object.

All you have to do is draw the plan in the space below the front elevation. ....and in case you were wondering, when I was shown this as a very young engineer many years ago I eventually worked it out for myself. (It took a couple of days though!)

Obviously if you know the answer please do not spoil it for others who might want to try it.

Make sure you enlarge it to see all the lines!!
