ISOMETRIC DRAWING TYPICAL CONDITION.
IT IS A TYPE OF PICTORIAL PROJECTION IN THIS 3-D DRAWING OF AN OBJECT,
IN WHICH ALL THREE DIMENSIONS OF ALL THREE DIMENSIONAL AXES ARE
AN OBJECT ARE SHOWN IN ONE VIEW AND MENTAINED AT EQUAL INCLINATIONS
IF REQUIRED, THEIR ACTUAL SIZES CAN BE WITH EACH OTHER.( 1200) ISOMETRIC AXES, LINES AND PLANES:
MEASURED DIRECTLY FROM IT.
D L
The three lines AL, AD and AH, meeting at point A and making
1200 angles with each other are termed Isometric Axes.
3-D DRAWINGS CAN BE DRAWN NOW OBSERVE BELOW GIVEN DRAWINGS.
IN NUMEROUS WAYS AS SHOWN BELOW. ONE CAN NOTE SPECIFIC INCLINATION A
The lines parallel to these axes are called Isometric Lines.
ALL THESE DRAWINGS MAY BE CALLED AMONG H, L & D AXES.
3-DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS, ISO MEANS SAME, SIMILAR OR EQUAL.
OR PHOTOGRAPHIC HERE ONE CAN FIND The planes representing the faces of of the cube as well as
other planes parallel to these planes are called Isometric Planes.
OR PICTORIAL DRAWINGS.
HERE NO SPECIFIC RELATION
EDUAL INCLINATION AMONG H, L & D AXES.
EACH IS 1200 INCLINED WITH OTHER TWO. H
AMONG H, L & D AXES IS MENTAINED. HENCE IT IS CALLED ISOMETRIC DRAWING ISOMETRIC SCALE:
L When one holds the object in such a way that all three dimensions
D are visible then in the process all dimensions become proportionally
D L
L D eye sight and hence appear apparent in lengths.
This reduction is 0.815 or 9 / 11 ( approx.) It forms a reducing scale which
Is used to draw isometric drawings and is called Isometric scale.
In practice, while drawing isometric projection, it is necessary to convert
H true lengths into isometric lengths for measuring and marking the sizes.
H H This is conveniently done by constructing an isometric scale as described
on next page.
PURPOSE OF ISOMETRIC DRAWING IS TO UNDERSTAND
