SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the challenges of converting orthographic drawings to isometric drawings, highlighting the difficulties faced by a user transitioning from isometric to orthographic representation. The user has made attempts to visualize the component but struggles with the 3D aspect, particularly in accurately depicting the angled notch. Feedback from other participants emphasizes the importance of correctly interpreting the orthographic projections, specifically noting that certain lines should remain invisible to maintain proper depth perception.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of orthographic projection techniques
  • Familiarity with isometric drawing conventions
  • Basic skills in 3D visualization
  • Experience with technical drawing software (e.g., AutoCAD)
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of orthographic projection in technical drawing
  • Practice creating isometric drawings from orthographic views
  • Explore 3D modeling software to enhance visualization skills
  • Learn about depth perception techniques in technical illustrations
USEFUL FOR

Students in engineering or architecture, technical illustrators, and professionals involved in drafting and design who seek to improve their skills in converting between orthographic and isometric drawings.

Hi,

So I've just recently transitioned from converting isometric drawings --> orthographic to orthographic --> isometric and I am having quite a bit of difficulty with the latter

I have attached the question and my attempt at it (hardly anything because I am having trouble visualising how the component looks like.

Any help would be appreciated

cheers

since my original post, I have fiddled around and seemed to come to a drawing that looks closer to the answer. Could anyone tell me if I am on the right path? And also in the attachment, the portion circled doesn't look right to me, but I don't know how to make it seem 3D. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

The way you have the isometric drawn, you show the angled notch in the near corner of the object extending the full depth, which is not what the ortho projections indicate: the lines on the bottom should be invisible.
