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
Axonometric Projections
Observer at infinity Projectors parallel to each other and perpendicular to projection plane Object is inclined with respect to projection plane
Dimetric Projection
Trimetric Projection
Isometric Projections
All angles between axonometric axes are equal The three coordinate axes of the object appear equally foreshortened (about 3/4th of true length) The angles between any two of the three coordinate axes is 120
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
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)
Isometric Drawing
Isometric Projection: Drawing prepared with isometric scale on isometric axes
Steps:
Step 1 Isometric sketches begin with defining isometric axes, three lines, one vertical and two drawn at 30 from the horizontal.
10
Steps:
Step 2 Three lines of the isometric axes represent the three primary dimensions of the object: width, height, and depth
11
Steps:
Step 3 Draw the font face of the isometric block.
12
Steps:
Step 4 Draw the rest of the isometric block.
13
Steps:
Step 5 Add details to the block starting from the front face. Then add details to the other faces.
14
Steps:
Step 6 Darken all visible lines to complete the isometric sketch. (make sure that construction lines are light)

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

21
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)
22
Irregular Objects
Make an Isometric Drawing of the following irregular object (pyramid)
23
Irregular Objects
OA and OB offsets help to locate apex O Complete box construction may not be needed in each case
24
Instead of actual ellipses often approximate ellipses are drawn for isometric drawing.
Four-centre ellipses are used to approximate ellipses on isometric planes.
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.

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.
