Abstract
An object is more readily visualized from a pictorial view than from its orthographic projections. A system of pictorial projection, called Isometric Projection, will now be considered: it has the principal advantages of orthographic projection, viz. that the views can be quickly drawn and may be used as scale drawings. Other systems are dealt with on pages 298–305. The term Axonometric Projection has been applied to all these systems.
