SUMMARY A computer simulation of the random linear intersecting process has been used to derive the relative frequency distributions of random intercepts through selected convex shapes. The classes of shapes chosen for investigation were ellipsoids, rounded cubes, orthogonally‐faceted spheres, rectangular prisms and triangular prisms. Certain shape‐related characteristics of the distributions are pointed out.
