Chapter 10 Developing Design Solutions
Designers follow four major steps
when producing an isometric drawing.
See Figure 10-14. These steps are the
following:
1. Lightly draw the upper-right corner
of an isometric box that will hold the
object.
2. Complete the box by lightly drawing
lines parallel to the three original lines.
3. Locate the major features such as
notches, tapers, and holes.
4. Complete the drawing by darkening
the features and darkening the object
outline.
Figure 10-13. The two types of oblique drawings are cavalier oblique and cabinet oblique.
Cabinet oblique drawings use one-half the depth of the object for a more natural appearance.
