Axonometric views of any project help to explain or portray the concepts or details of the design in a better way. The goals behind constructing axonometric view is to show how various systems work when put together or in isolation. Systems such as Structure, Materials, Circulation, Concept, Program, etc can be shown using axonometric views.

This tutorial will talk about how an axonometric view explaining the concept of a design can be constructed. Assuming that a 3D Rhino model has been built and therefore we shall be using that model to portray the concept of the design.

  1. Using the 3D model constructed earlier, we will carry on with the exploded axonometric view.
This view is in perspective view.

2. An axonometric view should have parallel projections (without distortions) > Set view> Isometric view.

Isometric view.

Set the direction of the view and Create named view so that we work on the same view through out.

3. The concept here is that the building is centric and has 1 central block and all the other forms are placed around that block. To show that we should begin with showing the entire building and slowly deconstructing it to show the desired concept.

4. Pulling the first block and showing the Boundaries of the rest of the blocks should help explaining the design.In order to obtain the boundaries to the blocks: Dupborder> Project.

5. Once the model has been deconstructed as desired, it need to be converted into an orthographic drawing to assign line weights, line types, etc.

>Make2D and assign line weights and linetypes as desired.

6. Creating a rendered view of the axon and over lapping the orthographic drawing will give us the desired view.
