Re: Using 3D graphics in online documentation

Ed, your post brings up another aspect on what Jessica needs to do--narrow 
her topic.

"Using 3D graphics in online documentation" is a pretty wide subject area, 
and 1,000 words is only about five pages double spaced type.

I expect a trip to the local library and a few minutes with the catalog 
could get her a number of texts just on the theory of three dimensional 
projection in art and drawing.  I have an old engineering drawing text on my 
bookshelf at home that has the better part of a chapter on the differences 
between isometric drawings and isometric projection alone.  And we aren't 
even talking about using it for graphics in online documentation yet.

I won't know Jessica for asking here, though.  Someone here might have read 
an interesting article or book on the topic.  Or we might toss out some 
ideas like we are doing now, and that might get her creative juices going.
