THE METHODOLOGY OF PERFORMING POSITIONAL TASKS BY MEANS OF GRAPHIC PROGRAMS IN TEACHING DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY

Abstract

This article examines the didactic potential of applying Rhino and AutoCAD
graphic software in the teaching process of descriptive geometry and analyzes their effectiveness
in solving positional problems. The study focuses on methods for determining intersection lines
of surfaces, particularly the construction features of intersections between second-order surfaces
and planes in general position. Special attention is given to the possibilities of visual modeling
of complex spatial problems, accurate geometric constructions based on orthogonal projections,
and mastering algorithmic approaches to defining intersection lines using graphic software tools.
The article presents step-by-step methods for solving positional tasks in Rhino and AutoCAD
environments and highlights their role in developing students’ spatial thinking, graphic literacy,
and independent cognitive activity. In addition, the influence of modern digital technologies on
improving the quality of knowledge acquisition, forming engineering and graphic competencies,
and increasing the effectiveness of the educational process is scientifically and methodologically
substantiated. The research results demonstrate that graphic software serves as an effective tool
for integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills and contributes to the modernization of
descriptive geometry teaching in the context of digital transformation in education.
