Pictorial Drawing

Pictorial drawing shows more than one side of an object
Pictorial drawing displays three faces in a single image
Pictorial drawings include axonometric, oblique, and perspective types

Types of Pictorial Drawings

Axonometric Projection
- Theoretically orthographic projection
- Single plane used, object rotated to show three faces
- Subdivided into isometric, dimetric, and trimetric types
Isometric Projection
- "Equal measure"
- Result is less pleasing compared to dimetric or trimetric projections
- Easier to draw and dimension
- Axes are at 30° angles
- Measurements are laid parallel to the axes
- Method of creating an isometric view:
  - Draw the three axes: vertical and two 30° axes
  - Mark measurements corresponding to the orthographic view
  - Connect the points to form a box
  - Add the details of the object
  - Double-check accuracy
  - Trace visible edges with thicker lines
  - Add labels
Dimetric Projection
- Less pleasing than isometric
- Less freedom in orienting the object
- Easier execution compared to trimetric
Trimetric Projection
- Most pleasing to the eye
- Highest degree of freedom in object orientation
- Hardest to draw
Oblique Projection
- Projectors at an angle other than 90° with the picture plane
Perspective Drawing
- Method of projecting a picture onto a picture plane, like photography
- Types:
  - One-point perspective
  - Two-point perspective

Isometric Drawing Additional details

Isometric is derived from "equal" and "measure"
Measurements in isometric drawings are equal to orthographic views
Three axes are involved:
- Vertical axis
- 30° left cross-axis
- 30° right cross-axis
Three positions are used for drawing the axes in an isometric view:
- First position (bottom views)
- Second position (top views)
- Third position
Isometric axes are light lines, drawn before visible object lines
Measurements are parallel along isometric axes
Methods of drawing isometric views:
- "Boxing" or crate lines method
- "Offset" method (for objects with inclined surfaces)
Key elements:
- Parallel edges = isometric lines
- Non-parallel edges = non-isometric lines
