Synopsis

Master Descriptive Geometry for Architects and Engineers

Discover essential methods for showing size, shape, and position of objects in space through clear drawings and projections. This edition presents time-tested techniques used by draftsmen and cadets alike to locate points, lines, planes, and solids with precision.

The text trains the eye and hand to work with reference planes and projecting lines, teaching you how to create orthographic and perspective views. It covers definitions, fundamental principles, and a range of practical problems—especially those that arise in the third quadrant, a common workspace for draftsmen.
What you’ll experience
  • Clear guidance on locating points, lines, and planes in space
  • Step-by-step methods for projecting different views from reference planes
  • Hands-on problems that build skills in geometry, projections, and development of surfaces
  • Illustrated examples showing how to analyze single and double curved surfaces, intersections, and shading
Ideal for readers of technical drawing, engineering geometry, and design courses who want a solid, classic approach to descriptive geometry.
