Question

Difference between axonometric and oblique projection

Answer 1

Axonometric projection is a type of orthographic projection used for creating a pictorial drawing of an object, where the lines of sight are perpendicular to the plane of projection, and the object is rotated around one or more of its axes to reveal multiple sides
Oblique projection is a simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects. The objects are not in perspective, so they do not correspond to any view of an object that can be obtained in practice, but the technique does yield somewhat convincing and useful images.

Answer 2

•The difference between axonometric and oblique projection is:

•Axonometric projections are more realistic than oblique.

•The horizontal edges of an object in axonometric projections are parallel to each other and inclined to the plane.

•Whereas in oblique projections only one or two faces have true shape and size.

•The three types of axonometric projection are isometric, dimetric, and trimetric projection.

•The three types of oblique projections: cabinet, cavalier and general projection.
