Master the essentials of orthographic projection with this classic geometry text.

This volume guides you from basic representations of points and lines to complex surfaces, using a clear, step‑by‑step approach. The material emphasizes drawing accuracy and a logical progression from simple to more advanced concepts, helping you build solid skills for engineering and drafting.

In this edition, you’ll learn how to:

represent points, lines, and planes in two projection planes
work with horizontal and vertical traces and projecting lines
determine planes and lines from their projections
solve problems on intersections, tangents, and developments of surfaces

Ideal for students and professionals who need a reliable, time‑tested foundation in descriptive geometry, this book supports both classroom study and independent practice. It covers essential procedures for single‑curved and warped surfaces, cylinders, cones, and surfaces of revolution, with practical examples and exercises.
