Slide a cutting plane through prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones and build the 2D slice it leaves — pick the outline and set its lengths on a bench — or turn and slide the plane until the live slice matches a target.
A rectangular or triangular prism, square pyramid, cylinder or cone is drawn with its dimensions and a cutting plane at a stated height or offset; the slice itself stays hidden until the player builds it on a bench — choosing rectangle, triangle, circle or trapezoid and dialling the lengths the plane actually meets, including slices scaled by (H − h)/H through a pyramid or cone and the off-apex trapezoid. A make-the-cut mode reverses it: drag and turn the plane until the live slice matches the target. It targets the belief that every level cut copies the base at full size. Best for Grade 7.
