Types of Blueprints and Plans

There are multiple types of blueprints, and they are:

• Elevation View Drawings• Floorplans • Isometric Detail Drawings• Multiview Drawings

Elevation Drawings

• An Elevation View shows one flat (2d) view of a house. This could be a front, side, or rear view of a house.

Floorplans• A Floorplan shows the layout of

walls and large objects in any type of house or building. This type of drawing is always done from the top view.

Isometric Detail Drawings• An isometric drawing is a type of

3D drawing where the object is drawn on an angle. This type of view usually also includes notes & labels to explain what is going on in the drawing.

To draw an isometric view:

• Pick the front face of your object.

• Draw that basic shape on an angle.

• Then draw angled lines (all going the same direction) from each corner.

To draw an isometric view:

• Next match up your lines to end the shape.

• Then add any additional details.

Multiview Drawings

• Multiview Drawings show what an object looks like from different directions. The most common views include:– An Isometric View– Front view– Top View – Right side view

This is the most common form of blueprint that is used to create

objects.

How to create a Multiview Drawing

• First fold your paper into quarters. • Then label your sheet like below:

Your Paper

1- Isometric (3d) View

2- Front View (2d, flat)

3- Top View (2d, Flat)

4- Right Side View (2d, Flat)

Drawing the Isometric View

• The isometric view is always drawn first, and does not need to be any particular size.





Each view needs to stay inside it’s own folded square!

Drawing the Front View

• The Front View is drawn in the second square.

• If there are sizes present this view must follow the sizes listed

3

Sizes

Drawing the Front View• The front view is a flat (2d view), so

you do not see how far back it goes. You will only see length and height.





Rules for the Top and Right Views• The top and right side views should

line up with the front view. • By making sure these views line up,

sizes will match on several of your views.

Drawing the Top View• First draw light lines off of your front view to see where the

top view goes. • Check to see what sizes you have (such as what the depth

is), if there are any.

• As well as looking at the top of the shape. 1- Isometric (3d) View




Drawing the Top View• All of this information should give you what you need for

your view!





Drawing the Right Side View• For the right side you do the same as your top view.

• Line up your lines for the right side, using the front view. • Look at the right side of your isometric view • However deep your top view is, your right side should

match.1- Isometric (3d) View




How far back it goes

How far back the right side view goes

Your completed Multiview Drawing!• When you are done you should see all four of these views in

these areas!
