Abstract
The set of points obtained by projecting a quadric from a point off the quadric on a hyperplane has many interesting properties. Hirschfeld and Thas provided a characterization of this set, only by means of its intersection pattern with lines. However, their result only holds when the finite field has even order. Here, we extend their result to finite fields of odd order.
