3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is isometric drawing?Show answer
In isometric drawing, all three dimensions are shown to the same scale along three axes:
What is oblique drawing?Show answer
In oblique drawing, one face is drawn flat and true, exactly as a normal front view, and the depth is drawn going back at an angle, usually 45 degrees. To avoid the object looking too deep, the depth is often drawn at half scale; this version is called cabinet oblique. Because the front face is true and flat, oblique is easy to draw and especially good when the front face is complicated or circular.
What is not crating first?Show answer
Pictorial drawings need a proportioned 3D crate built up with construction lines, or the proportions distort.
