Construct Plan and Elevation

When constructing a sketch from a plan and elevations, take into account surfaces that can be see. Edges notate a change in level in the structure, and a corner on the diagram will become a vertex.

Building an isometric view from front, side and plan

Example 1

Sketch the object shown by the plan and elevations, below.

Front, Side, Plan of an object

The thick line inside the shape represents an edge. The plan looks down on the object; and the front and side elevations are looking at the object horizontally.
