HOW DO YOU DO IT ?
Planometric views are mainly used to show building interiors
(rooms) to give a pictorial impression of how the room looks.
However, Planometric views can be drawn for any object.
For rooms drawn in Planometric, always start with the floor area, this
can be shown rotated to an angle of 30o/60o or 45o/45o as shown.

USEFUL PRESENTATIONS
Behind every orange box on this page is a presentation which you should watch. They
will help you in a couple of ways.
They could be used to confirm that your understanding of a topic is correct.
They could also be used to guide you in the topics which you found difficult in class
the first time round. They are designed as self help. Go through them slowly and if you
still don’t get it, go back to your teacher as soon as possible.
