Flashcards

Isometric Drawing

A 3D representation of an object, room, building, or design on a 2D surface, where the final image is not distorted due to equal foreshortening of axes.

Isometric Projection

A technique of drawing 3D objects on a 2D plane where the plane makes equal angles with the object's three principal planes (axes).

Orthographic Projection

A method of creating multiple 2D views of a 3D object. One point on the 3D object is projected onto the 2D drawing with a perpendicular line.

Principal Dimensions

Dimensions of an object parallel to the chosen set of three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes.

Foreshortening

Isometric Drawing vs. Isometric Projection

Isometric drawing typically uses true lengths for projection, while isometric projection considers the foreshortening of the axes.

What does it mean for axes to be 'equally foreshortened'?

It means that all three axes appear to be shortened by the same amount, resulting in a consistent representation of the object.

Orthographic vs. Isometric

Orthographic projection uses multiple 2D views to represent a 3D object, while isometric projection uses a single 2D view that captures all three dimensions.

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
