Isometric drawings are not actual 3D drawings, they are made with 2D geometries but they appear like 3D. Isometric drawing in AutoCAD can be made by tilting viewing angle to 30 degrees for all of its sides in the 2D plane. In this article, I will show you methods of making an isometric drawing in AutoCAD. For explaining this feature I will use the geometry shown in the image above. I have also prepared a video to explain this tip, watch it here. Mario party 9 wii. In our new ‘How to make isometric games’ video series, you’ll learn how to build your own 2.5D style game with Buildbox. You don’t need to create 3D graphics, and in fact, you won’t need any game art at all. If you prefer article instead of video then scroll down to continue reading the article. Isometric drawing in AutoCAD 2014 and older versions: At first, you need to change your snap settings to isometric. Type DS on the command line and press enter. Drafting settings window will pop up from this window select snap and grid tab and make sure Isometric snap radio button is checked. Click OK to exit drafting settings window. Now make sure ortho mode is turned on from the status bar, if it is not turned on then press F8 to turn it on. You can now select isometric plane for your drawing by pressing the F5 key. The three Isoplanes available for selection are Isoplane top, right and left. Press F5 key to activate Isoplane top and then select line command and click anywhere in the drawing area to start your line. Specify a direction and type 5 on the command line then press enter, repeat this process by changing directions of line to make a closed square as shown in image A below. Now press F5 again to change the Isoplane to right or left. Start line command again and make lines from three corners of the square of length 5 units towards downward direction as shown in the image B above. Again change Isoplane to Top by pressing F5 key and join all three end points of the vertical lines to make a complete cube. In a similar way, you can make other isometric drawings as well. Isometric drawing in AutoCAD 2015 and later versions: With AutoCAD 2015 and later versions, this process of creating an isometric drawing has been greatly simplified. ![]() You can directly start isometric drawing using ISODRAFT option of the status bar. Click on ISODRAFT icon on the status bar as shown in the image above and select plane on which you want to create your drawing by pressing F5 key. Rest of the process is same as mentioned above. Related: Do you have questions related to isometric drawings? Let me know in the comments below. This is a guest post by Ibramim of, you can share as well. Hello This is very nice tutorial as always on your website, but I see some problem with demo project web and gmz. Very important in iso games is place/movement direction angles. It should be 0,45,90,135 etc. In your sample I see here direction is round, this is no problem, but objects (cars) moving not on straight angles and this is visible (shaking a little etc). Whole idea of good isometric projection is to have nice pixel lines. Here is good example In short words, car should move in mentioned directions only too (0,45, 90.). I’m asking, because I like your articles, and I’m looking for good and simple solution for game maker isometric grids. I have some pro component, but here also same issue. Can you look on this? Thank you, Pawel. Indeed, while you can’t “skew” an angle itself, you can always convert it to a vector, skew that, and get the new angle. For example, with 2:1 tile proportions and radians, it could be something like IsoAngle = atan2(sin(ScreenAngle), cos(ScreenAngle) / 2) - PI / 4; If it’s an angle between points, quite often you can simply convert both points to isometric coordinates, and find an angle between those (now in isometric space). As WeslomPo has mentioned, it’s easier to get a grasp of if you consider that the actual game world remains top-down and conversions only happen when drawing things.
