All points of the circle projected on the plane have to be parallel to this plane. As all planes are in an isometric projection under an inclination, the circle takes the ellipse form. For work simplification the ellipses in an isometric projection are replaced with ovals.
It is required to you
- - pencil;
- - square or ruler;
- - compasses;
- - protractor.
Instruction
1. Creation ovalin an isometryof begins from definition of provision of its small and big axis which are crossed in its center. Therefore at first define position of the center of a circle on the necessary plane of an isometric projection. Designate the center of a circle by O point.
2. Draw a small axis of an oval. The small axis is parallel to the axis of an isometric projection which is absent in the plane and passes through the center of a circle of O. For example, in the ZY plane the small axis is parallel to axis X.
3. By means of the square or a ruler with a protractor construct a big axis of an oval. It is perpendicular to a small axis of an oval and crosses it in the center of a circle of O.
4. Draw through the center of a circle O two lines the planes parallel to axes in which the projection is under construction.
5. By means of compasses note on a small axis of an oval and on the lines parallel to projection axes two points in the directions, opposite to the center. The distance on all lines is laid off until each point from center O and is equal to the radius of the projected circle. In total at you 6 points have to turn out.
6. Designate on a small axis of an oval of a point of A and B. The point of A is located closer by the beginning of coordinates of the plane, than B point. The beginning of coordinates of the plane corresponds to a point of intersection of axes of an isometric projection on the drawing.
7. Designate noted points on the lines parallel to projection axes as points of C, D, E and F. Points of C and D have to be located on one line. The point of C is located closer by the beginning of coordinates of an axis of a projection to which the chosen line is parallel. Similar rules work for points of E and F which have to be located on the second line.
8. Connect points of A and D and also BC point pieces which have to cross a big axis of an oval. If the turned-out pieces do not cross a big axis, designate E point as a point of C, and a point of C as E point. Similarly change designation of a point of F to D, and points of D to F. Also connect the turned-out points of A and D, B and the C pieces.
9. Designate points in which pieces of AD and BC cross a big axis of an oval as G and H.
10. Set to compasses the radius which is equal to CG piece length, and draw an arch between points of C and F. The center of an arch has to be located in G point. In the similar way draw an arch between points of D and E.
11. From a point of A draw an arch the radius equal to AD piece length between points of F and D. In the similar way draw the second arch between points of C and E. Creation of an oval on the first plane is ready.
12. Repeat the same way creation of ovals for other planes of an isometric projection.
