Isocircle geometry, four-center arcs, and cylindrical applications

Isometric Circle Construction Laboratory

Construct the actual four-center approximation, compare it with the exact projected ellipse, and apply isocircles to cylindrical features on all three isometric planes.

Four-center isometric circle construction. Swipe horizontally to inspect dimensions, annotations, linework, and details at readable drawing scale.
The four-center method is a manual drafting approximation. Do not treat its arc centers or axis extents as exact ellipse geometry.
