Uses for isometric paper
Isometric paper uses lines at 30°, 90° and 150° to form a grid of equilateral triangles, so cubes and boxes can be drawn in 3D without perspective. It is used in design and technology lessons, engineering sketches, maths (drawing shapes from plans and elevations), architecture concepts and isometric game and dungeon maps.
Draw vertical edges on the vertical lines and the other edges along the two diagonals; a cube is three rhombuses meeting at a point.
Pages are generated as vector graphics at exact real-world sizes, so they print sharply. In the print dialog set scale to 100% (not "fit to page") so the spacing is accurate. You can also change the colour and line weight, add a header for name and date, download an SVG or PNG, or switch to any other paper type. Everything is generated in your browser.
