Horizont al Offset
Horizontal Offset s:
These offset s
an get just as
confusing as
t he horizontal
offset s.

So, pull out t he old calculator, paper, pencil & a BIG eraser
and let ’s get start ed.

Calculat ing Isomet ric Offset s
St art off w it h w hat ’s given or w hat you can det ermine from
t he pipe draw ing it self.
a) We are given an 45° angle rise, t hat
act t hat t he t w o
sides of our t riangle are going to be
t he same lengt h
b) By doing simple subt ract ion, w e can
come up w it h t he lengt h for side B:
200-100 = 100 mm OR you can
subt ract t he elevat ions given and get
t he same dimension for side A.
Since B = A: side A = 100 mm as well. So, C= Sq. Rt (1002+1002) = 141.21 mm
