A. Identification
1. What are the three (3) basic methods of surface Development and Explain each Briefly. (6ptss.)
1.1. Parallel Line Development- This one basic method of development refers to the development of an
object that has surfaces on flat plane of projection. The true size of each side of the object is known and
the sides can be laid out in successive order. Some examples off this are the cylinder, cube, and prisms.
2.2 Radial Development- Radial-line developments are made from figures such as cones and pyramids.
Moreover, in this development, all the elements of the figure become radial lines that have the vertex as
their origin. This method is similar in some respects to the parallel-line method. Evenly spaced reference
lines are necessary in both of these methods. However, in parallel-line development, the reference lines
are parallel –like a picket fence. In radial-line development, the reference lines radiates from apex of a
cone –like the spokes of a wheel. The reference lines in parallel-line development project horizontally.
3.3. Triangular Development- Made from polyhedrons, single-curved surfaces, and wrapped surfaces.
The development involve subdividing any ruled surface into a series of triangular areas. Triangulation for
single curved surfaces increases in accuracy with similar and more numerous triangles.
B. Explanation
2. Explain briefly why pattern development is important in your chosen field of work. (4pts.)
Patterns offers the promise of helping the Architect identify combination of Architectural and/or solution
building blocks that have been proven to deliver effective solutions in the past and may provide the basis
for effective solutions in the future. Architectural Pattern expresses a fundamental structural organization
schema for software systems. It provides a set of predefined sub systems, their responsibilities, and
includes rules and guidelines for organizing the relationships between them.
