Isometric Drawings

The document describes the process of drawing an object in isometric perspective using the box construction method. This involves [1] sketching an isometric box around the overall object, [2] measuring dimensions on the box's axes to lay out details, and [3] drawing the final object by removing volumes from the box. Non-isometric lines are drawn using their coordinates on the isometric axes. Circles are shown as ellipses within an isometric square frame, with arcs tracing the ellipse's quarters.

The object is drawn by removing


volumes from the box.

A 30º- 60º set square is used to


trace the isometric lines.

Showing circles and arcs of circles in isometrics

Circles and arcs of circles on isometric


planes are shown in isometric projection
using ellipses within an isometric square.

The sides of the square are equal to the


diameter of the circle and each side of the
circle touches the square.

To draw a circle in isometric perspective on


the computer, use a modified circle
inserted into an isometric square.

To draw it as a sketch or with a compass,


draw four arcs of the circle in an isometric
square.
