Planometric Drawing: examples and definitions for students

Planometric is a drawing method where the plan (view from above) is inclined at 45° × 45° (or sometimes 60° × 30°).

  • Very fast and easy method
  • Useful for showing floor plans in architectural drawings
  • Not a very realistic drawing method – objects tend to look distorted / elongated
  • Circles on the top and bottom faces just appear as normal circles (circles or arcs on the side can be plotted as points)
