Isometric Projection

• It is a method of producing pictorial view of an object showing all

three faces of the object simultaneously on a single reference plane.
• It is a type of parallel projection

• The angles between any two of the three coordinate axes is 120°
Isometric Projection

• Observer at infinity

• Projectors parallel to each other and perpendicular to projection plane

• Object is inclined with respect to projection plane

 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
Principle of isometric projection
Isometric Scale

Isometric Length = 0.82 x True length
