Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry

In preparing the following text in descriptive geometry, the authors have endeavored (1) to make the subject easier for the student, (2) to help the student to visualize magnitudes in space, and (3) to present the subject more nearly in accord with commercial practice.

In order to accomplish these three things the ground line is omitted. When the projections of several points are given without the ground line being shown, the distances of the points from the horizontal or vertical planes of projection are not determined. The vertical projections, however, do show the relative heights of the points and the horizontal projections show the relative distances of the points from the vertical plane. It is the relative distances of points of an object from a plane with which we are concerned, since the distance of the whole object from the plane of projection does not change the orthographic projection of the object on that plane.

When it is desired to locate points which are given distances from the planes of projection, the ground line must be used. Even when the ground line is not shown, it is understood to be at right angles to the line joining the two projections of the same point.

By the omission of the ground line, and therefore the traces of a plane, the student's attention is centered on the object or magnitude in space and not on the planes of projection. This teaches the student to visualize the object rather than memorize the projections of the object. The subject is thus made easier because memorizing constructions and keeping the drawing rather than the object in mind are the greatest hinderances which the student encounters in mastering the subject.
