Synopsis

Master the hands-on skills of descriptive geometry to solve complex spatial problems with confidence.

This classic text teaches practical methods for visualizing and solving intersections, revolutions, and projections of surfaces. It emphasizes concrete constructions using auxiliary planes and projection tricks to locate points, lines, and curves where planes and surfaces meet. Examples include cones, tori, and other solids, with step-by-step guidance that builds a student’s ability to reason about three-dimensional objects on paper.

What you’ll experience

• Clear construction techniques for finding intersections and contour elements through multiple projections
• Strategies for handling difficult cases with auxiliary and secondary planes
• Worked examples that show how to turn 3D problems into planar drawings you can analyze
• A focus on practical geometry relevant to engineering graphics and related fields

Ideal for readers pursuing engineering drawing, architecture graphics, or foundational descriptive geometry, this edition equips you to visualize and solve real-world spatial problems with accuracy.
