This is the key component of the cube section project. In this version, the internal surfaces of the cube section are determined and drawn on a "circle grid" (by Slate Werner) made of concentric circles. The radius of each circle is the distance from the center of the cube (Z) to a specific point on the face of the cube (either A,B,X,C,D,E). X is a point that was previously avoided because a specific section for finding it was not provided in the project handout. This grid includes it in case the student's section design utilizes it.
Project description: Section a cube into two parts. Start by sectioning a face of the cube into two parts. Apply symmetry operations such as mirroring and rotations to construct the external surface of the cube. Determine the internal section by constructing triangular shapes as needed. Build model of cube. Represent cube in orthographic and isometric projections.
