Synopsis

Master the visuals of three-dimensional geometry with a clear, application-focused guide.

This classic text teaches how to represent shapes accurately on planes and to construct three-dimensional figures from two-dimensional drawings. It connects descriptive geometry to practical engineering and architecture, making complex ideas easier to grasp.

This edition covers foundational concepts, from projecting lines and planes to building tangent and curved surfaces. It emphasizes clear procedures, illustrated steps, and techniques you can apply in fields like civil engineering, architecture, and surveying. The material is structured to support students and professionals seeking a solid, tool‑based understanding of spatial problems.

• How to project geometric quantities onto planes for accurate drawings
• Methods for handling curved lines, surfaces, and intersections
• Techniques for spherical triangles, spherical projections, and warped surfaces
• Practical problems and construction plans that reinforce the method

Ideal for readers of technical manuals who want a reliable, step-by-step approach to descriptive geometry and its real-world uses.
