Isometric Drawings & Orthographic Drawings

Tutorial 5d

Isometric Drawings• The faces of three-dimensional figures are two

dimensional. Many types of industries use two dimensional drawings of three dimensional objects.

• The makers of some animated cartoons for example use computers to make wire-frame models of three- dimensional characters. These wire-frame images – basically complicated stick figures– are made up of polygons.

Isometric Drawings• One way to show a three-dimensional object is

with an isometric drawing.• An isometric drawing shows a corner view. It

shows three sides of an object in a single drawing.• For example:

TOP

FRONT

Orthograhic Drawings• Another way to show three-dimensional figures is with an

orthographic drawing.• An orthographic drawing shows a top view, front view,

and a right-side view. For Example:
