Isometric Projections ENGN103 ENGINEERING DRAWING ISOMETRIC PROJECTIONS L E C T U R E 4 WHAT IS ISOMETRIC DRAWING? 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. It is a type of axonometric projection. ISOMETRIC PROJECTIONS Observer is placed at infinity. Projectors parallel to each other and perpendicular to projection plane. Object is inclined with respect to projection plane in order to see all the three faces. ISOMETRIC TERMINOLOGY 1. The three coordinate axes are called isometric axes. 2. Any line parallel to isometric axes is called isometric line. 3. A non-isometric line is a line not parallel to any of the three isometric axis. 4. 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 Projection: Drawing prepared with isometric scale on isometric axes Isometric Drawing: Drawing prepared with ordinary scale on isometric axes MAKING ISOMETRIC PROJECTIONS: Step 1 Isometric sketches begin with defining isometric axes, three lines, one vertical and two drawn at 30° from the horizontal. Step 2 Three lines of the isometric axes represent the three primary dimensions of the object: width, height, and depth Step 3 Draw the front face of the isometric block. Step 4 Draw the rest of the isometric block. Step 5 Add details to the block starting from the front face. Then add details to the other faces. Step 6 Darken all visible lines to complete the isometric sketch. (make sure that construction lines are light) • Isometric projection shows all 3 dimensions, length, width and height. • The isometric lines are only drawn to scale. 1. Objects composed entirely of isometric lines can be drawn by taking all measurements parallel to main edges of the enclosing box. 2. Non-isometric lines are drawn by transferring the ordinates (which are on isometric lines) of the end of the lines 3. Inclined and oblique surfaces are drawn using end coordinates. Box construction and offset measurements are common methods. 4. In an isometric drawing, an angle never appears in its true size. Angles, irregular curves require special techniques. VIEWING DIRECTION • The position of the eye with respect to the object is the viewing direction. CLASSWORK: Make Isometric Drawing for the Front view and Top view given.

  • CHAPTER 6 PICTORIAL SKETCHING 6-1Four Types of Projections
    CHAPTER 6 PICTORIAL SKETCHING 6-1Four Types of Projections Types of Projections 6-2 Axonometric Projection As shown in figure below, axonometric projections are classified as isometric projection (all axes equally foreshortened), dimetric projection (two axes equally shortened), and trimetric projection (all three axes foreshortened differently, requiring different scales for each axis). (cont) Figures below show the contrast between an isometric sketch (i.e., drawing) and an isometric projection. The isometric projection is about 25% larger than the isometric projection, but the pictorial value is obviously the same. When you create isometric sketches, you do not always have to make accurate measurements locating each point in the sketch exactly. Instead, keep your sketch in proportion. Isometric pictorials are great for showing piping layouts and structural designs. Step by Step 6.1. Isometric Sketching 6-4 Normal and Inclined Surfaces in Isometric View Making an isometric sketch of an object having normal surfaces is shown in figure below. Notice that all measurements are made parallel to the main edges of the enclosing box – that is, parallel to the isometric axes. (cont) Making an isometric sketch of an object that has inclined surfaces (and oblique edges) is shown below. Notice that inclined surfaces are located by offset, or coordinate measurements along the isometric lines. For example, distances E and F are used to locate the inclined surface M, and distances A and B are used to locate surface N. 6-5 Oblique Surfaces in Isometric View Oblique surfaces in isometric view may be drawn by finding the intersections of the oblique surfaces with isometric planes.

The differences between a multiview drawing and an axonometric drawing are that, in a multiview, only two dimensions of an object are visible in each view and more than one view is required to define the object; whereas, in an axonometric drawing, the object is rotated about an axis to display all three dimensions, and only one view is required.

  • Visualizing Continuity Between 2D and 3D Graphic Representations
    INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION CONFERENCE 2–3 SEPTEMBER 2004 DELFT THE NETHERLANDS VISUALIZING CONTINUITY BETWEEN 2D AND 3D GRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS Carolina Gill ABSTRACT Understanding the principles of graphic language is necessary for visualizing, representing, communicating and generating new 3D space/form. The relationships between the basic elements of graphic language are defined by specific sets of rules that affect the information communicated about the 3D form. These principles are related concepts that are dynamic in nature and difficult to portray using words, diagrams and static pictures. This paper explores issues regarding continuity between the representations of three- dimensional objects by means of two-dimensional diagrams. How the current pedagogical methods/media do not facilitate demonstrations of relationships between observer, object and representation, and how current attempts of using computer visualization do not leverage on the inherent characteristics of the computer environment. Keywords: continuity, connections, visualization, information 1 INTRODUCTION An idea must exist in the mind of the artist, engineer or designer before it can become a reality. The concept is developed on paper or a computer screen. It is then shared with others in the form of sketches, controlled line drawings, dimensioned drawings or computer generated images. These 2D representations are part of a structured language that communicates specific information about a 3D object or space. Proficiency in communicating through this language is essential to the success of any designer. Parallel projections and perspective projections are representations that depict an instance; a relationship between four constant elements: The object, the observer, the picture plane and the projection lines.

Introduction Technical illustrations provide detailed information about the shape, size, and material of a product or design and they need to be accurate, clear, and unambiguous. Although objects are three-dimensional, representing 3D objects accurately on 2D media, such as paper, is not trivial and requires special care. The precise representation of an object on a plane (called picture plane or projection plane) from a particular point of view is called true projection. Think of the picture plane as a paper located between the viewer and the object. A drawing is created by connecting the points where the lines of sight from the viewer’s position, traveling to the different points on the object, intersect the projection plane (see Figure 4.1). Drawing true projections of objects is a laborious process, so alternative projection meth- ods have been developed to simplify this task. This simplification is accomplished by taking angles and measurements to produce a projection that resembles the true projection of the object. One of these projection methods has already been discussed in the previous chapter; orthographic drawings use three principal orthographic planes (horizontal, frontal, and profile) as picture planes to produce several views of an object. For each view, the observer is located at infinity in front of the pro- jection plane, hence the lines of sight travel parallel to each other in the direction of the object and hit the picture plane perpendicularly.
