Reverse Isometric View
Is it my old eyes, or is there something wrong. V5.1 build 1. When in Iso view the cabinet tapers wider near to far rather than narrowing. I don't remember seeing this before. This cabinet was created with this build, based on the island in the standard cabinet directory. Am I just having a senior moment? My brain hurts.

Just to confirm my thoughts. In Iso view nearer items of the same size should appear larger and \"shrink\" the farther away they are, as in perspectives. Or a cube should taper front to back. Like a I said, I may be having a brain fart and this is the \"reverse\" Iso is the way it has always been. Just looks wierd.

Ok, I'm confusing myself. Will try again. First pic is iso and shows tapering to distance. Second Pic is ortho and shows expanding to distance. If iso has perspective, I would think ortho would show rectangles/cubes and such with parallel lines/sides.

When I learned drafting years ago with a lead lock, T-square and 30-60-90 triangle an Isometric view was 3 sided orthographic no perspective,
On the screen or on paper the back and far end looked longer than it's respective counterpart but you could verifiy it was the same length with a scale. If you wanted a perspective you had to create vanishing guide lines, 2 or 3 point, and work to them, With the software you just click a button and can have ortho or perspective easily. I guess our eyes just naturally want to see in perspective and an Iso/ortho looks bigger in the rear.
Sure do like working with keys and mice, better than lead and electric erasers.
