CHARACTERISTICS OF PRINCIPAL LINES IN ISOMETRIC PROJECTION

Following are the characteristics of principal lines in an Isometric Projection.

1. The lines which are parallel on the object are parallel on the isometric projection.

2. Vertical line on the object remains vertical on the isometric projection.

3. The horizontal lines on the object are drawn at an angle of 30° with the horizontal.

4. The lines parallel to the principal planes (known as isometric lines) are equally foreshortened whereas the lines which are not parallel to principal planes (known as non isometric lines) are not equally foreshortened.
