Grid lines on isometric

david_hollis

I am creating some exercises for a stage 5 class. I am creating the isometric and would like grid lines to indicate arbitrary size. is it possible.

Hi David, no it is not possible and not something we would likely implement in the future.

Hi David,
I created an iso-grid as a sketch in Partstudio (1=0.81765) by arraying lines, inserting it in the dwg as a sketch where the iso drawings are, and changing the grid's line colour and weight. This is a workaround but it helped me to create handouts for the students. See the image below.

halil_erhan's solution is great! 

I'm curious why you would want an exercise like this? Onshape has live measurable models in the cloud, no need for paper or grid lines.

Thanks for the comment. This is to create 3D models isometric view and overlayed with isogrid to print. The students count the cells when they create multiview drawings -- or other views to learn about projection theory.

@halil_erhan Do you mind making this model public? I'm working on something similar for my students.
