 Isometric
When a cube is placed
on one of its corner on
ground with solid
diagonal perpendicular
to V.P., The front view
obtained is known as
Isometric Projection of
the cube.

7/16/04 2
Isometric Axes, Lines & Planes:
Careful Observation of the Isometric
Projection of the cube shows that:
z i) All faces are
equally inclined to
V.P.
zii) All lines
representing edges of
cube are parallel to
one or the other of
three lines and are
also equally
foreshortened.
7/16/04 Go To 3 Axis 3
 Isometric Axes, Lines & Planes:
zThe ratio, Isometric Length / True Length = 9/11
approx.

zIt is necessary that while drawing Iso. Projections,

true lengths should be converted to Iso. Length.

zIso.Projection: All lengths should be converted to Iso.

Length i.e. 9/11*True Length, except the radius of the
sphere.
z Iso. View: For simplicity actual/True lengths are
considered and the radius of sphere is taken as
11/9*radius.

¾For drawing Iso. Projection, Scale
Iso. Scale must be drawn so
that all the true lengths can be
easily converted to Iso.
Length using the scale.
¾For this draw two lines
inclined at 300 & 450 to
horizontal.
¾On 450 line mark True
lengths and to obtain Iso.
Lengths project these lengths
on 300 as shown.

 Three Isometric Axis
z There are three Axis in Isometric
Drawing. Two inclined at 300 and the one
is vertical.
z On 300 axis the length or width can be
drawn and the height is shown on vertical
axis or parallel to vertical axis.

7/16/04 Iso Axes 6

 To draw Isometric of 30 mm square plate. The F.V. as given.
z Draw three isometric axes, two inclined at 300 to
horizontal and one vertical.
z Mark point B at the intersection of these axes.
Mark point C on one of the axis inclined at 300
to horizontal at a distance equal to BC.
z Mark point A on vertical axis at a distance equal
to BA.
z Draw parallel lines to the isometric axes from
points C and A (from point C draw line parallel
to vertical axis and from point A draw line
parallel to BC) to meet in point D.
z The point D can also be marked by drawing
parallel line to vertical axis from point C equal
to length BA. Similarly, line AD also can be
marked.
z Join BCDA which is the required isometric view
of the square.
z Similarly Fig. (c) show the isometric view of the
square drawn in direction of the other sloping
axis.
7/16/04 Isometric of Vertical Square Plate 7
 To Draw Isometric of rectangle the face
of which is parallel to H.P.
z Draw horizontal line and mark 300
axes as shown in Fig.(b). Mark
point b at the intersection of the
axes.
z Mark point c on sloping axis at a
distance equal to BC.
z Mark point a on another sloping
axis at a distance equal to BA.
z Draw parallel lines from points c
and a as shown in Fig. (b) to obtain
point d. Thus abcd is the isometric
view of the rectangle. On the same
principles but taking c as starting
point the isometric view can be
drawn as shown in Fig.6(c).

7/16/04 Isometric of Horizontal Rectangle 8

 To Draw Isometric view of 600 set-square of 125
mm longest side having its surface parallel to V.P.
z The base AB is horizontal. Draw ab
on sloping axis as shown in Fig.
(b).
z As the angles do not increase or
decrease in fixed proportion they
should be drawn after determining
the position of end points on
isometric lines. Therefore construct
a rectangle ABFE as shown
enclosing the triangle.
z Draw isometric of abfe as shown.
Mark point c on ef such that ec is
equal to EC. Join ac and bc to
complete the isometric of the
triangle. The isometric in other
direction is as shown in Fig. (c).

7/16/04 Isometric of Vertical Set-Square 9

z Enclose the plane figure in a rectangle To Draw Isometric of
ABGH as shown in Fig. (a). Draw lines given Plane Figure.
Cc1, Cc2, Dd1 and Dd2 parallel to the
sides as shown in Fig. (a).
z Draw isometric of rectangle ABGH as
shown in Fig. (i). Mark points c1, c2, d1,
d2 and e on respective sides by taking their
distances from points b, g and h.
z From points c1, c2, d1 and d2 draw parallel
lines to the sides of rectangle to obtain
points c and d on isometric view as
explained earlier in Problem 3.
z Join points abcdea to obtain the isometric
view of the plane figure when it is parallel
to V.P. The isometric view can also be
drawn in other direction as explained
earlier in Problem 3 which is not shown
here. The students may try it for practice.
z The isometric view of the plane figure is as
shown in Fig. (ii) when its surface is
parallel
7/16/04
to H.P. Isometric of Plane Figure 10
 To Draw Isometric of Hexagon
i) Parallel to H.P. & ii) Parallel to V.P.

z Fig. (a) shows the hexagon.

Construct rectangle ABCD to
enclose the hexagon and
proceed as per previous
problem to obtain its two
isometric views as shown in
Fig. (i) and Fig. (ii)
respectively.
z It may be noted that the
isometric view can be drawn
in other direction also.

7/16/04 Isometric of Hexagon 11

 To Draw Isometric of Circle i) Parallel to H.P. &
ii) Parallel to V.P. – Method of Points
Method of Points:
Enclose the circle in a square ABCD touching it in
points 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Draw diagonals AC and BD to intersect circle in
points 5, 6, 7 and 8 as shown in Fig. (i) - (a).
Draw isometric views of the square ABCD as
shown in Fig.(i)-(b),(c) and (d). Mark points 1, 2,
3, and 4. Also mark points 5, 6, 7 and 8 on it as
explained in previous problem. Join all points by
smooth curve to obtain the isometric view of the
circle. Fig. (ii) shows the isometric
projection of the circle drawn using the isometric
scale.
Note that in isometric view the major axis of the
ellipse is greater than the actual diameter of the
circle and in isometric projection the major axis is
equal to the diameter of the circle.
7/16/04 Circle - Method of Points 12
 To Draw Isometric of Circle – Four Centre Method

Four Centre Method:

Draw isometric view of the square ABCD and join diagonals.
Draw perpendicular bisectors of the sides of rhombus which
intersect each other on longer diagonal in points p and q as
shown in Fig. (b). The angles b and d are 1200 each.
The points p and q can also be obtained by joining points b and
d with midpoints of the opposite sides and intersecting each
other on longer diagonal in points p and q.
Draw arcs 1-2 and 3-4 with centres as b and d respectively.
Draw arcs 1-4 and 2-3 with centres as p and q respectively to
complete the required ellipse which is the isometric view of
the circle as shown in Fig. (b).
Fig.(c) shows the isometric view of circle drawn in other
direction and Fig. (d) shows the isometric view of the circle
when it is parallel to H.P.
It may be noted here that the ellipse obtained by using the
four centre method is not a true ellipse and differs
considerably in size and shape than that obtained by using
method of points. It is because of the ease in construction
and to avoid drawing neat freehand curves this method is
generally employed.
7/16/04 Circle -Four Centre Method 13
 To Draw Isometric View of Square Prism
i) Axis Vertical & ii) Axis Horizontal

¾ When Axis is vertical –

Draw the base (Fig. b)
having sides inclined at
300. Mark height on
vertical Axis.
¾ When Axis is horizontal
draw the bas on 300 &
vertical axis and mark
height on other 300 axis.
