Topic Title

With DataCAD 12, is it possible to draw walls in a isometric, and if to reflect in floor plan?

We'll have to wait an find out! Hopefully, we can do this, as it would be easier to see the 3D spatial relationships.

I was under the impress that isometric and 3D are separate entities. Two different ways to draw. One is real 3D and the other is preceptive 3D.

Hi Greg,

I think that isometric and perspective are different views of the same 3D entities?

I said isometric and floor plan as examples.

What it interests are the views in the screen if corresponding in real-time, as already occurs in some programs of AEC.

Hi Greg,

Must be my learning of isometric then...

Isometric to me is just using x,y planes and making it look 3d.

Where 3D actual does just that...moves into the 3rd Dimension of z.

Perspective is a 3D view, with vanishing pionts, where more "distant"
objects are shown smaller, just like viewed with the naked eye.

Isometric is a projected view, entities as they relate to a 2D plane, orthagonally projected onto that plane,
so that two objects that are one unit in size, one right in front of your
face and one a million miles away, have the same size.

3D for me is objects in X, Y and Z co-ordinated, independent of the method of projection.

From AutoCAD, the draw plan - UCS nor always it needs to be the plan of the view. This gives more freedom for drawings in 3D.

There is an item, on the future V.12 of DataCAD, that can signalize something on this direction.

"3D Edit Planes
Recall construction planes on a per-entity basis."

I suspect that this is the answer for your wishes.

Let's wait for more details about it.

Thanks,
Miguel
