Chapter Overview| This chapter introduces you to the geometry commonly used in engineering design graphics. Since surfacing modeling is an important part of modern engineering design, modern techniques and geometric forms used with CAD systems are described. In addition, geometric construction techniques useful in creating some types of 2-D engineering geometry are included. Because geometry provides the building blocks for creating and representing more complex products and structures, the information presented in this chapter will be used throughout the remaining chapters in this text. |
