7 axo drawings, and when to use each: one building drawn 7 ways, with the angles 📐
Plan oblique, isometric, elevation oblique, dimetric: the same small house, each with its angles and the one thing it shows best. First, the two families behind every "axo", so you know what you actually drew.
Then the three moves juries love: exploded, cutaway and worm's-eye. And a cheat sheet that matches your idea to the right projection, with the SketchUp, Rhino, AutoCAD and Revit settings.
💡 Choose the projection before you open the software: ask what the drawing has to explain (the plan, the façade, the layers or the ceiling), then pick the view that keeps that part true.
✓ Angles from Ching's Architectural Graphics and ISO 5456-3; software settings checked in SketchUp, Rhino 8 and Autodesk help, Oct 2026.
