.Pixote. said:@ Alec - Do you have an example we can look at.
If you feel that this is in any way derailing the thread, do split it, but here's what I was wondering (two minute sketch):
IN AN OTHERWISE ISOMETRIC PLANE, OF COURSE.
I guess it comes natural to you guys because you use software, but when you do it freehand it's a pain in the ass, so I was hoping that one of you might know a secret or a trick or two on how to do it. It's axonometric, I guess, the lines are parallel like in isometric, but there is shortening (unlike isometric). How much shortening? And in what way is it dependent on the angle? I'm sure there's a formula for that, but literature on isometric/axonometric projections are usually very brief and not much detailed.
