descriptive geometry

• Teilgebiet der Geometrie, das sich mit der Darstellung dreidimensionaler Objekte in zwei Dimensionen durch Projektionen befasst; wird vor allem im Ingenieurwesen, in der Architektur und im technischen Zeichnen verwendet.

A branch of geometry that deals with representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions using projections, commonly used in engineering, architecture, and technical drawing.

1. Graphical representation methodC1formal

   A branch of geometry that uses two-dimensional projections to represent three-dimensional objects accurately, used in engineering and architecture.
