| PLANOMETRIC DRAWING INTRODUCTION A PLANOMETRIC drawing is developed by (1) drawing a plan or map to scale (2) rotating the plan or map so that the left side is at either a 30° angle or 45° angle or 60° angle to the ground line (a line parallel to the bottom of the page) - the most important thing to remember is that the shapes remain the same (for example, a rectangle remains a rectangle with 90° corners) (3) drawing all verticals to the required height (4) drawing the top shapes of the various parts/objects see below left Because the plan is preserved, horizontal circles are shown as circles; vertical circles are shown as ellipses see below right |

| A PLANOMETRIC drawing see left is sometimes rotated back to the original plan or map view orientation see right. This is often done as a space-saving measure and/or to make designing a page layout easier |
