This isometric assembled view was developed to cover all illustration requirements for dishwasher documentation that had to be turned around quickly.  This single illustration, with components on separate layers (as indicated by various colors here), allowed different systems to be separately addressed by isolating layers.  This artwork was accomplished in Adobe Illustrator.  Input data for this project was photos of the actual machine and flat view engineering drawings. This line art was not exported from 3D models, but rather illustrated using traditional isometric technical illustration techniques. With the advent of exporting line art from 3D models, this "old-school" isometric illustration technique is becoming a lost art.
