book on doing tech drawings

[Emanuel Berg]

Right, but what language is this then? Construction, yes?

(Actually it is HTML LOL)

[Emanuel Berg]

OK, good point.

[Emanuel Berg]

OK, let's rephrase the question - you are right! I'd like to read a book that will teach me some formal way of drawing this place, as described in three informal photo blog posts.

I'd like to draw a formal drawing of that project.

It doesn't have to be excellent in any way but it has to be correct formally.

While _I will_ use these drawings practically, still, as big a part for ME of this PARTICULAR drawing project is, God willing, learning how to do that, so I have it for future projects as well, or just to make me happy, even. Just get the foot thru the door, after that, I can bang the rest of my body and head indoors, no problem.

The book has to has illustrations, correct terminology and not be to eterical - hands on, but can be a sound mix of theory and best practices. For the literate, practically working engineer in the everyday sense. DIG? :) OK, so while it was right of you to ask for specifications, after writing this, I don't want to do it again, if you don't understand it by now I can't help you - sorry. Please ignore this disruption in your drawing session :)

So if you guys can decide on onee book, I'll mail my book shop and order it literally tomorrow, unless you reach a consensus in under one minute and one hour, in which case it will happen today :) wait, now it is only 55 minutes! haha

Architecture is the language you're looking to learn for that one. If you search for "architectural drawing textbook" you'll find a range of options--which ones are good and which ones aren't I have no idea. Note--the "book" is important--otherwise you get a bunch of fonts.

[Emanuel Berg]

Please respond in the other thread where the question has been specified and include the book details.

Here is a Biblatex entry, but use whatever form you prefer, of course :)

@book{all-road-bike-revolution, author = {Jan Heine}, isbn = {978-0-9765460-5-4}, pages = {256}, publisher = {Bicycle Quarterly}, title = {The All-Road Bike Revolution: fast, comfortable, reliable}, year = {2020} }

In formulas and the like e.g. =Left(A2,3) in Excel becomes =Left(A2;3) in Calc. It can be a real PITA when you can't see the itty bitty font on the screen, and somewhere in the long =CONCATENATE(Raw.X4;IF(ISNUMBER(OxC.L4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);"?? ";OxC.L4));IF(ISNUMBER(StA.L4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);"? ";StA.L4));IF(ISNUMBER(AJH.L4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);"{A} ";AJH.L4));IF(ISNUMBER(PDH.L4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);"[P] ";PDH.L4));IF(ISNUMBER(SCA.L4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);"SCA ";SCA.L4));IF(ISNUMBER('SCA-RF'.H4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);"SCArf ";'SCA-RF'.H4));IF(ISNUMBER(SqD.L4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);"";SqD.L4));IF(ISNUMBER(RE.G4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);RE.G4)) ;IF(ISNUMBER(RFE.K4);;CONCATENATE(CHAR(10);RFE.K4)) ) is where I typed a comma, not a semi-colon.

For grinds and giggles, that last reference is the another sheet RFE, cell K4 which has this formula: =IF(ISNA( OFFSET(RFE.$B$3;MATCH(MONTH(Raw.H4)*100+DAY(Raw.H4); RFE.$A$3:RFE.$A$54;0)-1;0));0;OFFSET(RFE.$B$3;MATCH(MONTH(Raw.H4)*100+DAY(Raw.H4); RFE.$A$3:RFE.$A$54;0)-1;0)) the result of which is 0 (zero)

yes, proably more than you care to know, but I'm some what proud of it. And no, I didn't start out with this level of complexity, but worked up to it.

[pyotr filipivich]

Ah, but that's like asking about "standards" Of which is it often said "The Good thing about Standard Editions is that there are so many to pick from."

[Leon]

I caught on early in my woodworking hobby

Yeah, many/most books can be less expensive than a tool.

Which book in particular actually drills, cuts, shapes, or sands wood?

[krw]

In particular, green ones.

[krw]

Dynamics. How do you model the trees?

[krw]

Grammar too, just all of them mashed together at random.

I think you left out physical quality (after size) and have shape and age reversed. It's not likely that you'll ever exhaust the list. ;-)

But you're right, I couldn't list them without help. Most don't even know that there is a list but know something's very wrong when it's violated. It's one of those things natural English speakers learn by example from birth rather than by explicit rule but confuses the hell out of those learning the language by rule. English is very hard to learn by rule. Again, they're stolen from a hundred languages, OK, with a good dose of randomness thrown in.

A book of matches??? ; )

[Leon]

;~)

That is a YouTube video I would like to see!

[Leon]

From the Sketchup Warehouse. ;~)

But also a good point for any accuracy.

OR if you live in Texas..... The born and raised near and on both sides of the Mexican/ US border speak a version of Spanish, TexMex, not the style of Mexican food. I know many Hispanic/Mexican/Americans that visit relatives deeper down in Mexico and can hardly understand what they are saying. Going to Spanish class in school the class was at least 40% Mexican American and they had as much difficulty in the class as every one else.

I recall learning how to ask, what time is it, in Spanish. That was funny because many of us thought the teacher was saying one of the local radio stations call letters. KRYS

It's my recollection from elementary school, that the native americans used fire to help hollow-out their birch bark canoes! At that time, I confronted my dad with the idea of doing such a cool project, but he didn't bite.

[J. Clarke]

Dugouts, not birch-bark. Different concepts. Dugout, you cut down tree and hollow it out. Birch bark you take the bark off a birch tree and fit a frame inside it.

You've never heard of "book burning"? It's all the rage now.

It's like telling you a 1/2" chisel is 12mm, but more accurate. It's just a different way of measuring that other countries use. (TPI is US standard, PPI is European? I think.)
