Plan - The plan of a solid is the view of it from above.
Front elevation - The front elevation of a solid is the view of it from the front.
Side elevation - The side elevation of a solid is the view of it from the side.
Isometric paper - Isometric means distances between points stay the same. In this lesson you may use isometric paper which has equally spaced dots or points.
