Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of modern computer-aided design (CAD) software tools has driven a change in the paradigm relating to the study, analysis, and representation of engineering and architectural technical systems, demonstrated by the removal of descriptive geometry as the foundation of the methods involved.
The ability of descriptive geometry (DG) as a scientific field to provide mathematic methods for the special analysis of three-dimensional (3D) geometric systems, through their plane projections loses relevance when the expert can address the 3D space using the 3D homologous computation in CAD.
However, DG also offers an abstract and well-defined mathematically formalism for the analysis and solution of 3D geometric systems. The removal of DG as the foundation of the methods involved in CAD models thus causes the loss of that well-defined formalism, what makes the analysis of non-direct 3D problems difficult.
This Special Issue explores the cutting-edge advances and trends in the application of DG for the technical drawing, analysis, and computational modelling of 3D geometric systems, under the current context of a wide diffusion of matured 3D CAD tools, providing novel solutions in academia, industry and research that overcome or complement those from CAD.
The Special Issue is not limited to classic engineering and architectural systems, but rather it addresses the computer implementations of DG mathematical procedures, including rotation and projection transformations, to explore the symmetry properties of 3D geometric systems, and to extend their applications to other scientific fields, such as bioengineering.
Potential topics include:
- Descriptive geometry;
- Technical drawing;
- Engineering graphics;
- Architectural graphics;
- Computer modeling;
- Computer simulation;
- 3D systems modeling;
- 3D systems analysis;
- Geometry in bioengineering.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
