Pictorial Projections
(i) Axonometric projection.
A. Isometric projection.
B. Dimetric projection.
C. Trimetric projection.
(ii) Oblique projection
(iii) Perspective projection
Isometric Projection
• It is a method of producing pictorial view of an object showing all
three faces of the object simultaneously on a single reference plane.
• It is a type of parallel projection
• The angles between any two of the three coordinate axes is 120°
Isometric Projection
• Observer at infinity
• Projectors parallel to each other and perpendicular to projection plane
• Object is inclined with respect to projection plane
Isometric Terminology
• The three coordinate axes are called isometric axes
• Any line parallel to isometric axes is called isometric line
• A non-isometric line is a line not parallel to any one of the three
isometric axis
• In isometric projection of cube, the faces of the cube and any plane
parallel to them is called isometric planes
Principle of isometric projection
Isometric Scale
Isometric Length = 0.82 x True length
