Despite it was merely a provisional building destined to
be a school for the sons of the bricklayers working in
the temple, it is regarded as one of the chief Gaudinian
architectural works.

Conoid
Definition: ruled surface, set of lines (rulings), which are transversals of
a straight line (directrix) and a curve (base curve),
parallel to a plane (director plane).

Tangent Plane of the Right Circular Conoid at a Point
The intersections with a plane parallel to the base
plane is ellipse (except the directrix).
The tangent plane is determined by the ruling and
the tangent of ellipse passing through the point.
The tangent of ellipse is constructible in the
projection, by means of affinity {a, P] (P)}

Contour of Conoid in Axonometry
Find contour point of a ruling
Method: at a contour point, the tangent plane of the
surface is a projecting plane, i. e. the ruling r, the
tangent of ellipse e and the tracing line n1 coincide:

Developable Surfaces
Developable surfaces can be
unfolded onto the plane without
stretching or tearing. This property
makes them important for several
applications in manufacturing.
