AW: Heel of Hand or Top View

[Bill Reese]

Stefan,

At first, I was beginning to think the gap meant that the thumb was 
beyond the heel of the hand.  But then I realized that the thumb is so 
close to the heel that it could be thought of as on the same plane.   
Now if I was showing fingers bending down in the heel view, they would 
be beyond the heel and a gap would seem to be natural there.  It's a 
common practice in art and drafting to leave such a gap when indicating 
something is beyond.

Of course, that begs the standard - for if we show the thumb not gapped 
and the fingers gapped, is that better than setting a rule that all 
lines representing digits (fingers and thumb) when in the heel view need 
to have a gap?

Bill
