Lecture 3: Isometric
Projections
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 2
What is ISOMETRIC?
It is a method of producing pictorial view
of an object showing all three faces of the
object simultaneously.

It is a type of parallel projection

It is a type of axonometric projection

Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 3
Axonometric Projections
Observer at infinity
Projectors parallel to each other and perpendicular
to projection plane
Object is inclined with respect to projection plane
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 4
Types of Axonometric
Projections

Isometric Projection


Dimetric Projection


Trimetric Projection
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 5
Isometric Projections
All angles between axonometric axes are
equal

The three coordinate axes of the object
appear equally foreshortened (about 3/4
th

of true length)

The angles between any two of the
three coordinate axes is 120
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 6
Isometric Terminology
The three coordinate axes are called
isometric axes
Any line parallel to isometric axes is called
isometric line
A non-isometric line is a line not
parallel to any one of the three
isometric axis
In isometric projection of cube, the faces of
the cube and any plane parallel to them is
called isometric planes
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 7
Isometric Scale
True lengths of the edges of the object are
equally foreshortened
Correct isometric projection can be drawn
using an isometric scale (always smaller
than ordinary scale)
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 8
Isometric Drawing
Isometric Projection:
Drawing prepared
with isometric scale on
isometric axes

Isometric Drawing:
Drawing prepared
with ordinary scale
on isometric axes

Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 9
Steps:
Step 1
Isometric sketches begin with defining
isometric axes, three lines, one vertical
and two drawn at 30 from the horizontal.
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 10
Steps:
Step 2
Three lines of the isometric axes represent
the three primary dimensions of the
object: width, height, and depth
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 11
Steps:
Step 3
Draw the font face of the isometric block.
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 12
Steps:
Step 4
Draw the rest of the isometric block.
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 13
Steps:
Step 5
Add details to the block starting from the
front face. Then add details to the other
faces.
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 14
Steps:
Step 6
Darken all visible lines to complete the
isometric sketch. (make sure that
construction lines are light)






Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15
Axonometric projection shows all 3 dimensions,
length, width and height.
The isometric lines are only drawn to scale. Objects
composed entirely of isometric lines can be drawn
by taking all measurements parallel to main edges
of the enclosing box.
Non-isometric lines are drawn by transferring the
ordinates (which are on isometric lines) of the end
of the lines
Inclined and oblique surfaces are drawn using end
coordinates. Box construction and offset
measurements are common methods
In an isometric drawing, an angle never appears
in its true size. Angles, irregular curves require
special techniques

Objects with Normal Surfaces

at the bottom

Objects with Normal Surfaces
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18
Objects with Oblique Surfaces

Objects with Oblique Surfaces
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20
Objects with Non-isometric
Lines
Make an Isometric Drawing with apex A
facing front
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 21
Objects with Non-isometric Lines
Non-isometric lines are drawn with box construction
and offset measurements

Non-isometric lines are not drawn in true length in
isometric drawing (BA is shorter than CA in this
drawing)
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 22
Irregular Objects
Make an Isometric Drawing of the following
irregular object (pyramid)
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 23
Irregular Objects
OA and OB offsets help to locate apex O
Complete box construction may not be
needed in each case
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 24
Objects with Circular Geometry
A circle in a orthographic projection will appear as
an ellipse in an isometric drawing.
Instead of actual ellipses often approximate ellipses
are drawn for isometric drawing.
Four-centre ellipses are used to approximate ellipses
on isometric planes.

How to draw four-centre ellipse???

Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 25
Approximate Ellipse
Draw the isometric centre lines of the circle.
Using the centre lines, draw an isometric square with sides
equal to the diameter of the circle.
From the near corners of the box, draw two large arcs with
radius R, using the two red points as centres.
Draw the two smaller arcs with radius r, using two green points
as centres.

Objects with Circular Geometry

Objects with Non-Circular Curved
Surfaces
Make an Isometric Drawing of the following
curved object
Lecture 3 Tuesday, 14 October 2014 29
Objects with Non-Circular Curved Surfaces
A line that appears as a noncircular curve in a normal
orthographic view of an object appears as a non-isometric line in
an isometric drawing.
Curves may be drawn using a series of points by measuring
along the normal lines in the orthographic view (offset
measurements) and transferring these points on isometric
drawing. Accuracy increases with number of points.
