Draw the complete outline of the cut surface in the plan view. This includes accurately tracing the intersection of the cut with the hexagonal prism based on the projected points.

Incorporate hidden details that are not visible in the current view. This may involve using dashed lines to indicate edges that are cut or obscured by other surfaces.

Project the two required points from the plan view to the elevation view. Make sure to keep the projections vertical and align them with the existing structures.

Finalise the elevation view by drawing the outline of the cut surface, ensuring that it corresponds with the projections you have just made.

Review the entire elevation view for accuracy, confirming that all elements are properly aligned and that the dimensions reflect the original 3D shape.

Rotate the cut surface in an auxiliary view for clarity, ensuring that the perspective is correct according to the position of the original hexagonal prism.

Make a projection of the rotated auxiliary view back to the plan view to provide a comprehensive understanding of the cut surface.

Create projections perpendicular to the horizontal trace (HT) to accurately represent the dimensions of the cut surface in the plan view.

Using the information gathered from the auxiliary and plan views, draw the true shape of the cut surface. This will be the final representation of the surface as viewed in its true dimensions.
