SHAPE GENERATION BY MEANS OF A NEW METHOD OF ORTHOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION ("PROEKTIVOGRAFIYA": DRAWINGS OF MULTI-COMPONENT POLYHEDRA

The authors analyze the capabilities of a traditional set of shape generation techniques that employ orthographic representation in the generation of polyhedra with account for the advanced approach to the research of new multi-nuclear structures. In the past, designs based on one nucleus were used in practice. The use of two or more nuclei is considered in the article. In the most common case, the resulting system of planes will constitute multiple orthographic representations. The characteristics of a binuclear system depend on the mutual positions and relation of dimensions of the nuclei. In addition to regular parameters, complete description of the system need particular supplementary parameters that determine the mutual positions of the nuclei. Increase in the number of nuclei causes increase in the number of descriptive parameters. The authors provide examples of binuclear systems composed of tetrahedrons, cubes, and dodecahedrons, implemented in the Delphi medium. The results can be exported into any three-dimensional modeling system with a view to their further study and use
