Abstract

The paper presents a non-traditional method for defining ruled surfaces. This method enables a simple construction of the ruled surfaces generating lines, not only with the classical means, but first of all with a computer. The method for defining and constructing known surfaces and also modelling of new surfaces is described here. The introduced mathematical description enables creation of the interactive modelling of surfaces by using a computer and very quick surface design and projection of its arbitrary segments. The pictures are presenting the graphical output from a computer.
