Synopsis

This book focuses on strengthening 3D visualization skills through sketching exercises. It does not make reference to any particular computer-aided design software package. Points emphasized:

1. Shape representation and problem solving using freehand sketching. Assignments can be completed outside class.
2. Surface Analysis -- A powerful approach to teaching visualization.
3. Establishes a process for solving problems. Students can solve features of objects before they can see; the shapes.
4. Challenging problems. Worksheet layouts allow faster progress.
5. Students learn how to think about shapes in three dimensions.
6. Students can prove every line on a drawing. There is no question whether the answer is correct or not.
