Drawing Cylindrical Features
Cylindrical Features
Drawing cylinders in an isometric pictorial is just a matter of drawing two circles and adding some connecting lines.
Step 1) Draw a defining box. The height is equal to the height of the cylinder and the width and depth are equal to the diameter of the cylinder.
Step 2) Draw diagonals and ellipses in boxes that define the beginning and end of the cylinder.
Step 3) Draw two lines that connect the two ellipses. The lines will start and end at the intersection between the ellipse and the major axis diagonal.
Step 4) Erase all construction lines and any lines that fall behind the cylinder.
