It's a valuable thing you're doing.<BR/><BR/>Monge did not, as far as I know, learn his methods from monks - he was more of a mathematical genius and developed new insights. Definitely more to come on that topic later.<BR/> <BR/><BR/>ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-65265172931239273642009-01-30T15:32:00.000-05:002009-01-30T15:32:00.000-05:00Hi Chris, Great stuff.

Seems like I heard that the monks of the medieval era knew something of this.<BR/><BR/>My instructor has taught us this method of graphic representation. However we have not quite gotten to this level. We have graphically represented two pieces oriented at any angle that intersect. After working with groundlines of planes it was difficult to then add the "skyline" (a term we came up with).<BR/><BR/>To your point about the only way. Yes someone could possibly cut this from certain design programs as a crutch; but they would certainly have a difficult time with it without knowing what was behind it. And if the pieces of wood get bigger for some unique framing...well than it seems the graphics are imperative.<BR/><BR/>Great blog man. thanks, mo<BR/><BR/>p.s. I started something like this about a week ago. I am going to post all the lessons and models we have learned in chronological order. It is still in its infancy. I probably have about 18 more drawings to add with an additional angle to find in each one.<BR/><BR/>http://raisetheroofhigh.blogspot.com/Decatur Fountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742638219586598131noreply@blogger.com
