61. Draw two parallel lines
Draw an ogee curve using method 1 or 2
62. The conic sections are curves produced by planes intersecting a right circular
cone.
Four types of curves are produced: the
circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola, according to
the position of the planes.
63. The curves are largely successive segments of geometric
curves, such as the ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, and involute.
64. These ellipse guides are usually designated by the ellipse angle, the
angle at which a circle is viewed to appear as an ellipse.
65. Major axis = long axis of ellipse
Minor axis = short axis of ellipse
The foci of the ellipse are two special points E and F on
the ellipse's major axis and are equidistant from the
center point. The sum of the distances from any point P
on the ellipse to those two foci is constant and equal to
the major axis ( PE + PF2= 2A ). Each of these two
points is called a focus of the ellipse.
66. Let AB be the major axis and CD the minor axis
To find foci E and F, draw arcs R with radius equal to half the
major axis and centers at the end of the minor axis
Between E and O on the major axis, mark at random a number of
points.
Using a random point (point 3), with E and F as centers and radii
A-3 and B-3, draw arcs to intersect at four points 3’. Use the
remaining points to find four additional points on the ellipse in
the same manner.
Sketch the ellipse lightly through the points
67. For many purposes, particularly where a small ellipse is required,
use the approximate circular arc method.
Given axes AB & CD
Draw line AC. With O as center and OA as radius, draw arc AE. With
C as center and CE as radius, draw arc EF.
Draw perpendicular bisector GH of the line AF; the points K & J,
where they intersect the axes are centers of the required arc
Find centers M & L by setting off OL = OK and OM = OJ. Using
centers K, L, M, & J, draw circular arcs as shown. The points of
tangency T are at the junctures of the arcs n the lines joining the
centers.
68. Draw a major axis 5” long and a minor axis
2.5” long. Draw an ellipse by the foci method
with at least five points in each quadrant
Use the same axes and use the approximate
ellipse method
69. The curve of intersection between a right circular cone and a plane parallel
to one of its elements is a parabola.
70. Given focus F and directrix AB
Draw a line DE parallel to the directrix and at any
distance CZ from it
With center at F and radius CA, draw arcs to
intersect line DE at the points Q & R (points on the
parabola)
Proceed in the same manner to determine as many
points as needed
71. Draw a parabola with a vertical axis and focus
0.5” from the directrix.

72. Look at Exercise 4.60 and talk through methods
that you would use to create this drawing in
pencil
Present these methods to class
73.
74. To make and interpret drawings you need to know how to create
projections and understand the standard arrangement of views.
You also need to be familiar with the geometry of solid objects and be able
to visualize a 3D object that is represented in a 2D sketch or drawing.
75. Vanishing Points: An Introduction to
Architectural Drawing
76. The system of views is called
multiview projection. Each view
provides certain definite
information. For example, a front
view shows the true shape and
size of surfaces that are parallel
to the front of the object.
77. The system of views is called multiview projection. Each view provides
certain definite information.
78. Any object can be viewed from six mutually perpendicular
directions,
79. Revolving the Object to Produce Views. You can experience
different views by revolving an object.
80. The three principal dimensions of an object are width, height, and depth.
The front view shows only the height
and width of the object and not the
depth. In fact, any principal view of a 3D
object shows only two of the three
principal dimensions; the third is found
in an adjacent view. Height is shown in
the rear, left-side, front, and right-side
views. Width is shown in the rear, top,
front, and bottom views. Depth is
shown in the left-side, top, right-side,
and bottom views.
81. The outline on the plane of projection shows how the object appears to the observer.
In orthographic projection, rays (or projectors) from all points on the edges or contours
of the object extend parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of projection.
The word orthographic means “at right angles.”
Projection of an Object
82. Specific names are given to the planes of projection. The front view is
projected to the frontal plane. The top view is projected to the horizontal
plane. The side view is projected to the profile plane.
