1
Fundamentals of Isometric Projection
- Isometric projection shows 3D objects on 2D paper with all three axes equally inclined at 120°
- All three principal axes use the same foreshortened scale (isometric scale)
- No vanishing points are used, unlike perspective projection
2
Drawing Regular Solids
- All regular solids follow the box method construction technique
- Start with helping figure (base shape) using isometric scale
- Create enclosing box using principal axes
3
Prisms and Pyramids
- Prisms: Two parallel bases with rectangular faces
- Can be positioned vertically (on base) or horizontally (on face)
- Pyramids: Single base with triangular faces meeting at apex
4
Cylinders, Cones, and Circular Solids
- Circular bases drawn as ellipses using four-center method
- Cylinders: Two parallel circular bases with curved surface
- Cones: Single circular base tapering to apex
