Isometric Projections:
It is a type of pictorial projection in which all three dimensions of an
object are shown in one view.
In this, an object is so placed that, its three mutually perpendicular edges are
equally inclined with the plane of projection. So all three dimensional axes appear
at equal inclinations with each other (120o).

Isometric Planes:
The planes representing the faces of the cube are called Isometric Planes.
Isometric scale:
When one holds the object in such a way that all three dimensions are visible then
in the process all dimensions become proportionally inclined to observer’s eye
sight and hence appear apparent in lengths.
In practice, while drawing isometric projection, it is necessary to convert true
lengths into isometric lengths.
