Isometric Projection
The term "isometric" comes
from the Greek for "equal measure", reflecting that the scale along each axis of the projection is the same (unlike some other forms of graphical projection). Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings.
Isometric Projection
It is an axonometric projection
in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angles between any two of them are 120 degrees.
Isometric Drawings are the
quickest and easiest of all pictorials to draw and are therefore the most commonly used.
Isometric scale
It is necessary to convert true lengths into isometric lengths
Isometric view
The isometric drawing is drawn using 100% true length measurements on the height, width, and depth axes. Isometric view is easy to drawn and less time cosuming.
Isometric projection
In isometric projections the height, width and depth are displayed at 82% of their true length. Isometric projection is more time consuming and more difficult than isometric view.
Perspective projections
Definition: When the human eye views a scene, objects in the distance appear smaller than objects close by - this is known as perspective.
characteristic features of perspective: 1. Smaller as their distance from the observer increases 2. Foreshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight
building , the lines of pillars on both sides of the corridor will appear to be converging.
Projection method or visual ray method: The perspective view is drawn by using either the top and front view or the top view and the end view of the visual rays. Vanishing point method: Vanishing points to which the edges of the object converge are used.
