"Basics of solid modeling" is like a guide that takes the reader from the foundation to the roof of solid modeling, explaining in detail each step of the process. Each feature is explained and exemplifyied copiously by text and plenty color graphics.
This book is for those who want to learn 3D or to get to know it better.
The Author, has spent all his adult years working in the Machine Design Field, in Europe and USA.
The last part of his working years (in USA) encompassed heavy use of CAD and 3D Modeling, resulting in a firm knowledge of this Art.
Here is how the Author tackles the concept of Work Planes:
When added together in one picture, the three planes will look like Fig.1.5 below. The picture doesn’t show the entire extent of the planes for clarity, shows only the most used part of them, but remember, they stretch all the way to infinity, wherever that is.
