Step-by-Step Construction

  1. 1

    Draw both cylinders in their respective views

  2. 2

    Divide the surface of one cylinder into equal parts

  3. 3

    Project these division lines onto the other cylinder

  4. 4

    Determine intersection points on the surface

  5. 5

    Plot the curve of intersection in both views

  6. 6

    Complete with proper line conventions for visible and hidden lines

Pro Tips

  • Always verify your measurements with a scale before finalizing the drawing
  • Use construction lines lightly and darken the final solution
  • Label all important points and reference lines clearly
