What is it? Planometric projection is a form of pictorial drawing used by architects. It is like isometrics, however, unlike isometrics it gives a clearer picture of the object. Planometric drawings allow the viewer to see the objects as if they were looking form above.

How do you draw a planometric view? Planometric views are drawn starting with a plan of the view drawn at 30º/60º, 45º/ 45º, or 60º/ 30º to the horizontal. All vertical edges remain vertical. All measurements both vertical and on the base are true
