Drawing Abilities Teacher Planometric © J Lewis 2004
Basic Principles You will be given graphical information about an object from which you can take dimensions. These dimensions are used to produce a Planometric drawing which is a kind of 3D representation of the object. In a Planometric drawing, all dimensions are true lengths so there is no perspective. Planometric drawings are most frequently used for representing rooms with furniture or equipment. © J Lewis 2004
