Axometric

/ˌæk.səˈmet.rɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to a method of drawing or projecting three-dimensional objects where all three axes are shown at equal angles.

Etymology

From Greek 'axon' (axis) + 'metric' (from Greek 'metron' meaning 'measure'). In technical drawing, axometric projection is a specific mathematical system for representing 3D objects.

Kelly Says

Axometric drawing is the secret weapon of architects and engineers—it lets you show all three dimensions of something at once, which is why video game graphics, technical manuals, and construction plans use it instead of trying to draw realistic perspective.
