 Isometric Drawing

Is a form of pictorial drawing used to make a three—view drawing

easier to visualize.

It is made with a 30 X 60 degree triangle.

An isometric is actually a three dimensional drawing because the

height, width and the depth are all drawn on a single plane.

Locate the midpoint of the sides and these points are the points of
tangency of the major and minor arcs.

STEP 4
Locate the centers of the major arcs.
The centers of the major arcs are the end points of the shorter diagonal
lines which are points A & D.

STEP 5
Locate the centers of minor arcs.
The centers of minor arcs can be located by connecting the
centers of the major arcs to the midpoint of their opposite sides, the
intersections of these lines are the centers of the minor arcs which
are points E & F.
