  1. The terminology in this entry is quite incorrect.

    Axonometric means “measured along an axis”. Isometric, dimetric, and trimetric drawings are the three types of axonometric projections.

    Isometric drawings have three axiis all on the same scale. Dimetric drawings have two different axis scales, and trimetric have three different scales. All of them distort the plan, and look more realistic than Oblique projections, which you’ve erroneously called Axos.

    Plan Oblique drawings do not skew the plan, they simply rotate it. These are the least realistic looking and easiest to construct. Because they usually look so odd, its common to reduce the length of one axes, purely for visual effect. When lengths on the axes are reduced by half, its called a “cabinet oblique projection”.
