Synopsis

Master the core methods of descriptive geometry for real-world drawing and design.

This instructional classic covers orthographic and isometric projections, spherical and conic projections, and the tools for shaping complex surfaces, contours, and shadows in precise drawings.

Ideal for engineers, architects, and drafting professionals, this edition explains how to represent objects in space with accuracy. You’ll learn how to construct projections, analyze intersections of curved surfaces, and translate three-dimensional forms into clear, usable drawings. The book blends clear definitions with practical problems to build solid, repeatable drawing techniques.

• Foundations of orthographic projection and the geometry of projecting lines and planes
• Techniques for spherical, cylindrical, and conic projections and map construction
• Methods for handling surfaces, curves, and the intersections of solids
• Isometric and linear perspective approaches with step-by-step problem solving

Ideal for readers who want a durable, hands-on guide to technical drawing and visualizing complex shapes.
