    To get a true view (length in the projection is equal to length in 3D space) of one of the lines: SU in this example, projection 3 is drawn with hinge line H 2,3 parallel to S 2 U 2. To get an end view of SU, projection 4 is drawn with hinge line H 3,4 perpendicular to S 3 U 3. The perpendicular distance d gives the shortest distance between PR ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_3D_modeling_software

    Following is a list of notable software, computer programs, used to develop a mathematical representation of any three dimensional surface of objects, as 3D computer graphics, also called 3D modeling.

  4. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings. It is an axonometric projection in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angle between any two of them is 120 degrees.

  5. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    An oblique projection is a simple type of graphical projection used for producing pictorial, two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects: it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors) from the three-dimensional source object with the drawing surface (projection plan).

  6. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.

  7. Truncated octahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_octahedron

    Like the cube, it can tessellate (or "pack") 3-dimensional space, as a permutohedron. The truncated octahedron was called the "mecon" by Buckminster Fuller. [1] Its dual polyhedron is the tetrakis hexahedron. If the original truncated octahedron has unit edge length, its dual tetrakis hexahedron has edge lengths ⁠ 9 / 8 ⁠ √ 2 and ⁠ 3 / ...

  8. Parallel projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection

    In three-dimensional geometry, a parallel projection (or axonometric projection) is a projection of an object in three-dimensional space onto a fixed plane, known as the projection plane or image plane, where the rays, known as lines of sight or projection lines, are parallel to each other. It is a basic tool in descriptive geometry.

  9. Fractal dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_dimension

    The fractal dimension of a curve can be explained intuitively by thinking of a fractal line as an object too detailed to be one-dimensional, but too simple to be two-dimensional. [7] Therefore, its dimension might best be described not by its usual topological dimension of 1 but by its fractal dimension, which is often a number between one and ...
