How to Pass the NCIDQ: Part 6

If there was any one section for the IDPX that I kept having to review over and over again, it was the differences between drawing types. It's a wonder how something you learn so quickly in school and can do so easily in your profession, can become such a monster to remember in textbook terms. Below you'll find my easy breakdown.

One Point Perspective

• Point View is Perpendicular Object
• 1 Vanishing Point

Two Point Perspective

• Normal Eye Level
• 2 Vanishing Points

Oblique Drawing

• Point of View Parallel to Plan
• 3rd Azis = Oblique
• Tilt Plan & Project Lines = SIMPLE

Axonometric: 3D

• Isometric: all lines parallel
• Dimetric: 2 foreshortened
• Trimetric: 3 foreshortened

Orthographic: 2D

• Floorplan
• RFC
• Elevation
