What is Axonometric Projection?
• Axonometric Projection is a parallel projection
technique used to create a pictorial drawing of
an object by projecting that object onto a plane
• The plane of projection is called the axonometric
plane
• When the projectors are drawn perpendicular to
the axonometric plane, axonometric projection
becomes a form of orthographic projection
• In axonometric projection, the spectator is
located at an infinite distance from the
axonometric plane
Parallel Projection onto a Plane
Placing the Axonometric Plane
• The axonometric plane is an oblique plane
which is inclined to the horizontal, vertical
and end vertical planes
• It extends to infinity
• It intersects the three planes of reference
to form a triangle
• This triangle is called the trace triangle

Isometric Projection
Types of Axonometric Projection
Axonometric projections are classified according to how
the 3 principal axes are inclined to the axonometric plane
There are 3 types of projection:
– Isometric Projection
– Dimetric Projection
– Trimetric Projection

In isometric projection, the 3 principal axes are
equally inclined to the axonometric plane

In dimetric projection, two of the axes are equally
inclined to the axonometric plane

In trimetric projection, all three axes are inclined at
different angles to the axonometric plane
Isometric Projection
Y
• all 3 distances are equal

In Isometric Projection:
• all 3 angles between the
axes are equal
• the trace triangle is

Isometric Projection
What is known about the triangular planes behind
the reference planes?
the trace is a
true length
Right-angled triangle
The triangle has 2
equal sides and is
therefore isosceles
Deriving the Orthographic Views
If this triangular plane is contained
on the vertical plane, an elevation
can be projected onto it
Vertical Plane
This triangular vertical
plane is inclined behind
the axonometric plane
and a true shape of the
triangle and elevation
cannot be seen
Question:
How can a True Shape of the
Triangle be located?
Elevation of a
block
Deriving the Orthographic Views
The triangular planes could be rotated about the traces
onto the axonometric plane.
Deriving the Orthographic Views
What would the problem be with projecting this
view onto the Axonometric Plane?
If the block is projected back
onto the axonometric plane
in this position it will be
drawn upside-down
The position of the
developed planes will need
to change to view the block
from the front
Deriving the Orthographic Views
If the planes are rotated (hinged) in the other direction a front
view could obtained
Deriving the Orthographic Views
A true shape of each of the
reference planes may be located
The orthographic views may
be drawn on them

What size is this Axonometric Plane?
Step 1: Draw the axes

In isometric projection the axes are
inclined at 30° to the horizontal in order
to produce the 120° angle between them

between the reference planes
appear unequal.

unequalThis is Trimetric Projection
