Draw 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexamethylcyclohexane with all the methyl groups

(a) in axial positions. (b) in equatorial positions.

If your cyclohexane rings look awkward or slanted when using the analytical approach justshown, then try the artistic approach:^* Draw a wide M, and draw a wide W below it, displacedabout half a bond length to one side or the other. Connect the second atoms and the fourthatoms to give the cyclohexane ring with four equatorial bonds.

The other two equatorial bonds are drawn parallel to the ring connections. The axial bonds arethen drawn vertically.
