PICTORIAL

DRAWING
A Pictorial Drawing is a method of producing a three-dimensional (3D) object from a two dimensional view,
which shows the three main faces indicating the height, width and depth simultaneously. Pictorial drawing is
divided into three classifications:

A. Axonometric projection
B. Oblique projection
C. Perspective projection
Axonometric Projection
◦ It is a form of orthographic projection that shows the three principal faces of an object on a single
projection plane (picture plane). In axonometric projection, the object is placed in an inclined position
with respect to the plane of projection so that its principal faces will be displayed principally in
axonometric projection.

Axonometric projection are classified into three namely Isometric, Dimetric, and Trimetric projection as
described below:
Isometric projection:
◦ The receding lines are drawn at 300 from the horizontal and the others are vertical. Consider the
following cubic object and follow the procedure to make an isometric projection.
Dimetric projection
◦ Only two of the angles are equal.
Trimetric projection
◦ None of the angles are equal.
