Axonometric symbols
True isometric pieces that line up with each other, shaded with light from the left.
Axonometric or isometric?
An axonometric drawing shows a building in three dimensions without perspective: parallel lines stay parallel and sizes along each axis can be measured. Isometric is the most common kind, with the three axes 120° apart. These pieces are isometric, so they line up with the iso grid in the design tool.
What to use them for
- Massing studies — stack and combine the box and the L-block to test building volumes.
- Exploded and structure diagrams — the column-and-beam frame and the wall with an opening.
- Room diagrams — the table, chair, bed and sofa, at their real sizes.
- Scale — the person (175 cm) and the tree (about 360 cm), each with an isometric ground shadow.
Questions
How do I draw in isometric in JotJam?
- Open a design, switch the grid to Isometric, and lines lock to the three iso axes.
What size are the blocks?
- The massing box is 100 × 100 × 100 cm. The L-block has a 200 × 200 cm footprint with a 100 × 100 cm notch, 100 cm high. The gabled house is 200 × 300 cm with 250 cm walls and a 400 cm ridge.
Are they 3D models?
- No — they're drawings in isometric projection, ready to use in 2D drawings and diagrams.
