Isometric Drawing

sides of a figure from a corner view

Example 1• Make an isometric drawing

of the cube structure on page 10 of your book.

Orthographic Drawing

• Shows a top view, a front view, and a right-side view

Foundation Drawing

• Shows the base of a structure and the height of each part

• Used for skyscrapers!

Example 3• Make a foundation drawing for the isometric

drawing on page 11 of your book.

Nets

• Two-dimensional pattern that you can fold to form a three-dimensional figure

• Shows all of the surfaces of a figure in one view

Example 4

• What figure will this net make?
