Isometric Drawing
Is a form of pictorial drawing used to make a threeview drawing
easier to visualize.
It is made with a 30 X 60 degree triangle.
An isometric is actually a three dimensional drawing because the
height, width and the depth are all drawn on a single plane.

STEP 3
Locate the midpoint of the sides and these points are the
points of tangency of the major and minor arcs.

STEP 4
Locate the centers of the major arcs.
The centers of the major arcs are the end points of the shorter
diagonal lines which are points A & D.

STEP 5
Locate the centers of minor arcs.
The centers of minor arcs can be located by connecting
the centers of the major arcs to the midpoint of their
opposite sides, the intersections of these lines are the
centers of the minor arcs which are points E & F.
