Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawing. It is an axonometric projection in which the three coordinate axis appear equally foreshortened and the angles between any two of them are 120 degrees.
The term "isometric" comes from the Greek for "equal measure", reflecting that the scale along each axis of the projection is the same.

As with all types of parallel projection, objects drawn with isometric projection do not appear larger or smaller as they extend closer to or away from the viewer. While advantageous for architectural drawings where measurements need to be taken directly, the result is a perceived distortion, as unlike perspective projection, it is not how our eyes or photography normally work. It also can easily result in situations where depth and altitude are difficult to gauge.
