Axonometric and Oblique Drawing: A 3-D Construction, Rendering, and Design Guide

Explains the two types of paraline drawings, which are characterized by foreshortening of proportions and changes of angle. Emphasizes oblique paraline projections, in which the actual plan or elevation is used without foreshortening to produce the three-dimensional paraline. Also discusses methods of construction, shadow casting, and exploration and emphasis; and includes a variety of drawings by professional architects. No index or bibliography.
