Information Sheet 1: Principles of Isometric Projections

Isometric projection is a method to visually represent 3D objects in 2D for technical/engineering drawings
Isometric projection is a type of axonometric projection
The three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened
The angle between any two axes is 120 degrees
Isometric projection shows an object tilted in such a way that one of the solid diagonals of the cube is perpendicular to the vertical plane, with the three axes equally inclined.

Isometric Drawing

Commonly used method for representing 3D objects visually
Intended to give a depth effect and yet be precise regarding dimensions
Parallel lines in a 3D object will appear as parallel lines
Vertical lines maintain their true proportion
Horizontal lines are drawn at an angle from normal axes but preserve their measurements.
Using true isometric scale is not efficient, therefore true lengths are used for practical application

Isometric Drawing Procedure

Study orthographic views and features of the object
Draw isometric axes
Mark the dimensions accurately on the axes
Draw lines parallel to isometric axes, based on markings to complete the drawing
Locate principal corners from all feature faces.
Finish by darkening visible edges
