Isometric Drawing

What is Isometric Drawing?

Isometric drawing is a drawing of


a three-dimensional shape on a two-
dimensional surface along a vertical line
with at least two identified points. It is
also called isometric projection.
All the horizontal lines of the image
are created from the predetermined
vertical line at 30-degree angles.
The angles play a huge part in
creating the three-dimensional, isometric
view.
The drawing of a cube is a very
common isometric drawing. Three
dimensions can easily been seen when
viewing a cube.
The purpose of an isometric drawing
is to represent a three-dimensional item
on a two-dimensional surface. When
looking at an isometric drawing, three
views are evident.
The top, front, and left/right sides
are the views that are on display in an
isometric drawing.
An isometric drawing is created using
three axes. The three axes are formed
from a vertical line with two horizontal
lines at 30-degree angles.
