isometric drawing
Three-axis technical sketch
An isometric drawing is a technical illustration that shows a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface without using perspective.
All three axes are equally foreshortened and meet at 120-degree angles, which means parallel lines remain parallel rather than converging toward a vanishing point.
This makes measurements along any axis proportionally accurate, which is why architects, engineers, and video game designers favor the technique.
The architect prepared an isometric drawing of the proposed building.
