Surface Modeling in the Course of Engineering Graphics

Development of the designer’s documentation package by means of CAD systems implies good skills with toolkits of solid and surface modeling. The ability to identify the surface type, its generation process and consequently to choose the optimal modeling is acquired in the descriptive geometry course, as well as engineering graphics and computer graphics courses. The article describes training assignments designed for students of machine building departments aimed both at consolidation of theoretical knowledge and development of skills required to identify and model various surface types.
