'''Isometric projection''' is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in [[technical drawing|technical]] and [[engineering drawing]]s. It is an [[axonometric projection]] in which the three [[Cartesian coordinate system|coordinate axes]] appear equally foreshortened and the angle between any two of them is 120 degrees.
