Why use isometric paper?

Answer 1

Isometric drawings are drawn to the same scale along all three axes (x,y,z) so are useful for giving a sense of relative dimensions, and three dimensional scale. Measurements can also be taken from the drawings for items that lie along or parallel to an axis.

Answer 2

Isometric art is mostly used for mechanical drawings, but for a visual artist or illustrator it can be very useful to practice with perspective and foreshortening. You can create isometric drawings with or without the standard dotted paper.

Answer 3

- To understand an object in the third dimension i.e depth or Z axis

- To understand inner features of an object

- To understand elevation of piping and location of pipe supports in a process plant

Answer 4

because they give a three dimensional aspect which convey a full shape description to the viewer

Answer 5

to get your drawings to pin point accuracy.
