 COURSE
OBJECTIVES
Students may be able to
• draw isometric front, top and side views
of the objects
• differentiate between isometric
projection and isometric view. Image Source: https://img-a.udemycdn.com/course/750x422/1925256_3592_5.jpg

• create an isometric drawing using a

multiview drawing
• draw basic isometric views and
projections of solids

 Introduction

• Isometric Drawing:-
• All the views of an object are visible in the single view i.e. front, top and side views are visible in a
single view.
• This type of drawing is also known as 3D drawing of an object.
• All the 3D axes are maintained at 120° to each other.

4
 Isometric View and Isometric
Projection
• Isometric View: To draw Isometric View of an object, the actual dimensions of the object are used
• Isometric Projections: To draw the isometric projections of an object the isometric lengths of the
object are used.
• Isometric Lengths can be determined by drawing Isometric Scales

5
 Terms in Isometric Drawing

• Isometric Axes: The lines OA, OB and OC are all known as Isometric Axes. These all make an angle 120°
with each other.
• Isometric Planes: The planes OAPB, OARC and OCQB are all known as Isometric Planes.
• Isometric Lines: All the lines in this cube except and parallel to Isometric Axes are known as Isometric Lines.

 Isometric Scale
• When an object is viewed in Isometric Projections, all its sides become inclined to our vision
• True length of the object can’t be seen in Isometric Projection
• Isometric Scale is used to find out the length of the sides which are visible to us
• Isometric Length = 0.815 X Actual length

 Applications

• Isometric projections are used to view the three dimensional drawings of machines.
• These are also used to show the front view, top view and side view in a single view.
