Geometry creation: from analog to digital
Chapter 6 touched briefly on the connection between sketching and computer-aided design as well as some of the standard CAD processes. This chapter explores much more deeply the interconnection between the form languages of computer-aided design and freehand sketching. The argument is very simple: building forms in the computer still requires sketching—computer-based sketching. A firm knowledge of geometry creation will not only strengthen the analog skills of sketching but also the digital skills of computer modeling. When sketching on paper it is not possible to extrude an object’s thickness, revolve ...
