CONSTRUCTION OF ISOMETRIC SCALE • Draw a horizontal line AB. • From A draw a line AD at 45o to represent actual or and another line AC at 30o to AB to measure isometric length. • On AD mark the point 0, 1, 2 etc to represent actual lengths. • From these points draw verticals to meet AC at 0 , 1 , 2 etc. The length A1 represents the isometric scale length of A1 and so on. AB/AD = COS 45 AND AB/AC = COS30 degree Cos45/cos30 = 0.81 Isometric Length = 0.81 × Actual Length All the dimensions measured along or parallel to isometric axes (-X, -Y and -Z) will taken as Isometric Length. METHODS OF CONSTRUCTING ISOMETRIC PROJECTION BOX METHOD - • When an object contains a number of non-isometric lines, the isometric drawing may be conveniently constructed by using the box method. In this method, the object is imagined to be enclosed in a rectangular box and both isometric and non-isometric lines are located by their respective points of contact with the surfaces and edges of the box. OFF-SET METHOD - • Off-set method of making an isometric drawing is preferred when the object contains irregular curved surfaces. In the off-set method, the curved feature may be obtained by plotting the points on the curve, located by the measurements along isometric lines. REPRESENTATION OF BOX METHOD PENTAGON IN A BOX • DRAW (MULTIVIEW – TOP VIEW /FRONT VIEW) OF THE GIVEN PENTAGONAL PRISM ASSUMING AXIS IS PERPENDICULAR TO HP/VP. • LEVEL THE VIEWS AS A, B, C, D & E. • DRAW HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES THROUGH EACH CORNERS (A, B, C, D & E) OF PENTAGON (TOP VIEW). • THESE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES WILL FORM A RECTANGLE (BOX) – 1,2,3,4 IF EXTENDED. • Redraw/transfer the rectangle 1234 in isometric view. • Draw edge 12 and 23 of rectangle inclined at 300 (iso-angle) to ground/xy-line. Subsequently, mark point 4 and complete the rectangle. • TRANSFER POINTS A,B,C,D AND E OF PENTAGON ON RECTANGLE 1234.
