The part about the mental rotation involves guessing the images of geometrical objects after rotating them in three different axes and drawing the
isometric views of the images.
Figure 4 shows an example of a student's ability to draw objects in
isometric view, including shading to give the impression of depth, but the proportions are incorrect; so although it shows advanced work for this age group, it and suggests that a relevant progression for this student would be to work on scaling.
There is clearly opportunity for other similar three dimensional plots (such as an
isometric view, for example) that can further aid interpretation.
3D
isometric view, are supported for different tasks.
The view is a standard
isometric view, but you can switch to a direct top-down view during combat with the press of a button.
The on-screen action follows the same formula used in previous games in the series - namely an
isometric view.
"A fast designer could probably draw an
isometric view of a part in about four hours."
Figure 2 shows
isometric views of the proposed CAD design solutions, considering 100 x 100 mm and 100 x 200 mm formats for the metal blanks.
ACCA Software's Edificius is architectural BIM (Building Information Modelling) design software for advanced design tools that provide: floor plan views, section views, elevation views, construction details, tables, schedules, reports,
isometric views, perspectiveviews, renderings, photo inserts, and animations.
Students can also be introduced at this stage to the various types of engineering sketches such as orthographic and
isometric views. This is dependent on the level of the students engaged in the activity.
CAD, and time saving drawing techniques, the work proceeds through each of the required drawings examining orthographic views,
isometric views, perspectives, sections, partials and details, exploded view and phantom views.
