Concept information

Projection > Axonometry

Preferred term

Axonometry  

Definition(s)

  • Use for all forms of parallel projection, particularly where at least one of the three spatial axes is inclined to the plane of projection or picture surface; often used to refer to projections depicted as if a plan were drawn to scale, and the plan is then tilted at a 45 degree angle to provide a third dimension, typically height, which is drawn to the same scale as the plan; depicts both the plan and volume simultaneously and with a consistent measurement, without the distortion caused by the converging lines of one-point perspective [AAT, alt.]
