The possibility of ubicating a joint in such a diagram depends upon the knowledge of the variations of the distances between the joint considered and other three, already ubicated. The ubication of such a joint should be obtained as the point of intersection of the three planes normal to the directions of the lines joining the joint considered with the other three.",
