Printable Isometric Graph Paper

Isometric paper is made of equilateral triangles, so lines run vertically and at 30° to the horizontal. That makes it easy to draw 3D shapes, cube structures and game maps. Choose lines or dots and download a PDF.

How to use it

  1. Choose the options for your isometric paper. The preview updates as you go.
  2. Click Download PDF to save a print-ready file, or Print to send it straight to your printer.
  3. In the print dialog, set scaling to 100% ("Actual size") so the spacing stays exact.

Good to know

  • Each cube face on isometric paper is a rhombus made of two triangles.
  • Isometric dots are cleaner for finished drawings; lines are easier for beginners.
  • Math classes use it for views of solids (front, side, top) built from cubes.

Questions

What is isometric graph paper?

Paper with a grid of equilateral triangles (or dots at the triangle corners). Its lines run vertically and at 30° to either side, the angles of an isometric drawing.

How do you draw a cube on isometric paper?

Draw a vertical edge, then two edges going up-left and up-right along the 30° lines. Connect them into three rhombus faces: top, left and right.

What spacing should I use?

1/4 inch or 5 mm for detailed drawings; 1/2 inch or 1 cm for younger students and cube models.
