  2. SolidWorks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks

    SolidWorks is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach which was initially developed by PTC (Creo/Pro-Engineer) to create 3D CAD models and assemblies. The software uses the Parasolid modeling kernel. [26] Parameters refer to constraints whose values determine the shape or geometry of the model or assembly. Parameters ...

  3. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    When part definition is defined mathematically via a solid model, the assertion that one cannot interrogate the model—the direct analog of "scaling the drawing"—becomes ridiculous; because when part definition is defined this way, it is not possible for a drawing or model to be "not to scale". A 2D pencil drawing can be inaccurately ...

  4. Geometric primitive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_primitive

    In vector computer graphics, CAD systems, and geographic information systems, geometric primitive (or prim) is the simplest (i.e. 'atomic' or irreducible) geometric shape that the system can handle (draw, store). Sometimes the subroutines that draw the corresponding objects

  5. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    Assembly drawings show how different parts go together, identify those parts by number, and have a parts list, often referred to as a bill of materials. [16] In a technical service manual, this type of drawing may be referred to as an exploded view drawing or diagram. These parts may be used in engineering.

  6. List of interactive geometry software - Wikipedia

    Most are DGEs: software that allows the user to manipulate ("drag") the geometric object into different shapes or positions. The main example of a supposer is the Geometric Supposer, which does not have draggable objects, but allows students to study pre-defined shapes. Nearly all of the following programs are DGEs.

  7. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    Isometric graph paper can be placed under a normal piece of drawing paper to help achieve the effect without calculation. In a similar way, an isometric view can be obtained in a 3D scene. Starting with the camera aligned parallel to the floor and aligned to the coordinate axes, it is first rotated horizontally (around the vertical axis) by ± ...

  8. Boundary representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_representation

    In solid modeling and computer-aided design, boundary representation (often abbreviated B-rep or BREP) is a method for representing a 3D shape [1] by defining the limits of its volume. A solid is represented as a collection of connected surface elements, which define the boundary between interior and exterior points.

  9. Wire-frame model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire-frame_model

    In 3D computer graphics, a wire-frame model (also spelled wireframe model) is a visual representation of a three-dimensional (3D) physical object. It is based on a polygon mesh or a volumetric mesh, created by specifying each edge of the physical object where two mathematically continuous smooth surfaces meet, or by connecting an object's constituent vertices using (straight) lines or curves.
