schizek Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Can anybody tell me what the rotation in the X,Y, and Z axis' are to generate the Isometric(TFL, TFR, BFL, BFR) views. Is this something that can be modified if desired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lohman Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 You can't modify the angle of the standard views; but you CAN modify the direction that the camera is facing for the front view; thus changing the camera orientation of all of the standard views along with it. Or you can just use a general view to make your own iso using the "from scene" button so that you can orient your iso view in the scene and then just transfer that orientation into the view. I don't have an answer on the exact angles of an iso view yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schizek Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 What I am curious to know is.....what is the "standard" for an isometric view. I am assuming you take a front view and rotate that part in 2 axis. I want to know what that rotation is. Basically, if I want to create an Isometric view in another software package to match IronCAD, how would I do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Khenkin Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I believe it's 30° x 30° x 30° Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcraig Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 The "apparent angle" on paper is 30 degrees upward to the right, 30 degrees upward to the left and vertical for edges that are mutually perpendicular in space. An isometric can be created by rotating an object in the top view 45 degrees and rotating the object in the side view 35 degrees 16 minutes. I had to look it up: "Technical Drawing" 6th edition by Giesecke page 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schizek Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thanks, that is the info that I wanted, just couldn't find it. FYI it is on page 603 of "Technical Drawing" 9th edition by Giesecke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
