Oblique and Isometric Drawings

GSMST

Review Learning Objectives

Sketch pictorials of an object (either oblique or isometric) given orthographic views of the objectSelect the best orientation of an object shown in pictorialDefine what makes a drawing a: cavalier oblique, cabinet oblique, isometric, axonometric, perspective, or orthographic views

Pictorial

A three dimensional pictorial is a drawing that shows an object’s three principal planes, much as they would be captured by a cameraSometimes they are called Technical Illustrations

Cavalier Oblique

Front view true sizeReceding Axis Angle (Normally 30°, 45° or 60°) is VariableDepth dimension (receding axis) true size

Cabinet Oblique

Front view true sizeReceding Axis Angle (Normally 30°, 45° or 60°) is VariableDepth dimension (receding axis) half size

Side by Side Comparison

Cavalier Oblique Cabinet Oblique

Which is the cube ?

Were you right?

Angles in Oblique

Angles in front view are drawn true sizeOther angles must be located using coordinatesAppearance of angles may be distorted

Circles in Oblique

Drawn true size in front viewDrawn as ellipses on receding planesLayout using a Rhombus

Cylinders in Oblique

Front and Back surfaces are circular“Sides” are drawn as lines tangent to the front and back

Exercise

Sketch an Oblique of a “classical” tombstone. Add a bullet hole through the stone.

Types of Axonometrics

Orientation of Pictorial Objects

Isometrics

Axes equally separated (120°)H, W, and D measurements are true size along iso. axesAngles must be located by coordinatesCircles appear as ellipses on all surfaces

Isometric Circles & Angles

Isometric Ellipses

Using the Ellipse Template

Drawing Rounded Corners

Construction of Cylinders

Lightly block in the cylinder
