Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings. It is an axonometric projection in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angle between any two of them is 120 degrees.

What is isometric view?

In computer graphics, a rendering of a 3D object that eliminates the distortion of shape created by true perspective. In isometric views, all lines on each axis are parallel to each other, and the lines do not converge.

What is the isometric view used for?

Isometric drawings are commonly used in technical drawing to show an item in 3D on a 2D page. Isometric drawings, sometimes called isometric projections, are a good way of showing measurements and how components fit together. Unlike perspective drawings, they don't get smaller as the lines go into the distance.
