Planometric is yet another drawing system which gives a 3D view. It is also known as AXONOMETRIC or PLAN OBLIQUE as it is very similar to OBLIQUEdrawing in that lines are either vertical or at 45°.

The difference is that instead of the front view being a true view as in OBLIQUE; the PLAN view is the true view in PLANOMETRIC.

However the plan view is drawn at 45° and the front and side views are projected upwards from the plan. The drawing opposite shows the set up.

The red face, the top of the box, is identical to the plan and it is drawn exactly to size. It is basically a square which has been rotated through 45°.

Planometric is very popular with architects when a plan is often the most important view.

It does not however take any account of PERSPECTIVE and in this way suffers in the same way as OBLIQUE and ISOMETRIC.
