Axonometric Drawing

Axonometric drawing is a 2D representation of a 3D object that aims to show volume and depth. Unlike perspective drawings, parallel lines remain parallel in axonometry and distant objects are not reduced in size. There are two main types: isometric axonometry, where horizontal lines are drawn at 45-45 or 30-60 degree angles to show width, height and depth equally; and cavalier projection, where only the front face is undistorted while receding lines point toward a single vanishing point and are shortened in length. Axonometric drawings provide a viewed angle of an object without following realistic perspective rules.

AXONOMETRIC

DRAWING
Axonometric
drawing
In technical drawing and in
architecture, axonometric perspective
is a form of two-dimensional
representation of three-dimensional
objects whose goal is to preserve the
impression of volume or relief.
Sometimes also called rapid
perspective or artificial perspective,
it differs from conical perspective
and does not represent what the eye
actually sees: in particular parallel
lines remain parallel and distant
objects are not reduced in size.
Axonometry types
Isometric axonometry
In the isometric drawing, the vertical lines
will stay vertically, whereas the horizontal
lines are drawn are drawn at 45-45 degree or
30-60 degree angle. As a result, an
axonometric drawing is simply a picture of
an object viewed at an angle.

These three lines of the planometric axis


represent the three primary dimensions of
the object: width, height, and depth.

Cavalier projection

In a cavalier projection, only the front face


of the object is not distorted compared to
reality. The oblique edges (called receding
lines) all point in the same direction towards
a vanishing point, creating an angle between
30°30° and 45°45°. Finally, the length of the
receding lines is shorter on paper compared to
reality.
