Study Notes

Isometric Drawings

An isometric drawing is a simple way to draw a 3D object from an angle, with length and depth lines at 30° from the ground line and height at 90°.
Isometric grid paper is used to draw isometric drawings.
To draw an isometric cube:
- Step 1: Write the title block (name and surname) in capital letters on the bottom right corner of the grid paper.
- Step 2: Determine the starting point on the graph page, usually close to the bottom and center.
- Step 3: Determine the total dimensions of the object using orthographic or isometric projection, and draw a construction box.
- Step 4: Lightly draw the shapes of the object on the surface of the box, starting from the side view.
- Step 5: Darken the outlines of the shapes and add non-isometric lines if needed.

Orthographic Drawings

Orthographic projections can be drawn on graph paper with blocks.
There are two types of orthographic projections: First Angle and Third Angle.

Drawing Conventions

Line conventions are used in drawings to represent different components.
Examples of line conventions include:
- Continuous thick lines for visible outlines
- Continuous thin lines for hidden outlines
- Dashed lines for centerlines
- Chain lines for Cutting Plane lines
