ISOMETRIC PROJECTIONS

Isometric scale
Units are marked on the 45° line and then projected down to
the 30° line. The vertical lines in the drawing are drawn to
their correct size but all 30° lines are drawn using the isome-
tric scale which makes them slightly shorter than they would
be if drawn to their correct length. This adjustment will make
all isometric drawings appear more correct.
Figure 171 shows the plan and section through a common
building brick. Figure 172 shows an isometric drawing of the
brick and how the frog of the brick can be drawn .

Dovetailed joints
Figure 173(a) illustrates the end view of a lapped dovetailed
joint and figure 173(b) and (c) how the component parts can be

accurately constructed in isometric projection. The distances
a - b, a - c, a - d etc., and 1 - 2, 1 - 3, 1 - 4, etc., must
all be marked down the vertical lines to enable the isometric
drawings to be produced correct in all details.
