isometric projection for NON square parts

Post by zvevqx » Mon May 29, 2017 2:54 pm

hi everyone;
i recently swith to qcad pro witch is really great.

but I have a "problem(more a question)" with the isometric projection
i would like to be able to create a iso view for non square part (respectively 62 and 112deg)
i could find a way of doing it ..
so the question is : is it event possible ?
or how to calculate the matrix transformation for such thing ?
Image
the question is hos to project the leg to fit at this angle

i'm sorry if the question in not revelant but i'm struggling and searching for hours now ...
you're my last hope

have a good day

Hello zvevqx - welcome to the forum.

No - to my knowledge the current version of QCAD doesn't offers a "magical button" to design an isometric projection with using an angle between the main axis.

The best what I can think about would be to use the "old school" manual iso design technic ............... with a LOT of help lines. :shock:
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

hi Husky;
thanks for the answer;
I was already made to the idea of doing it by hand..

I'll try to figure how to do the math for such transformation but for now.. just do it by hand and an army of construction line

have a good day
