What is often forgotten about the isometric feature is that there are a number of commands included to make it look \u201cright.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Floor Offset Multiplier:<\/strong> When you insert or query the isometric, there is an option to set the \u201cFloor Offset Multiplier.\u201d You use this value to spread the different floors of the building apart from each other on the isometric. If the building is large, it is very likely that upper floors will obscure the floors below them. Using this value, the upper floors are placed higher on the isometric than they are in real life, providing the room necessary to see the floors below.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offset Isometric Command:<\/strong> The \u201cOffset Isometric\u201d command is used to move pipes on the current floor. If one area of the plan is in front of another area, you can move one area in the isometric without affecting the 2D floor plan. There is also an \u201cOffset Multiple Isometric\u201d command that can be used when there are multiple pipe systems in the isometric that need to be moved at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here is an example of how you can use these commands to clean up an isometric. In the original isometric, the area boxed in yellow is pretty messy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157 aligncenter\" title=\"ff-isomtric-start\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isomtric-start.png\" alt=\"Isometric riser diagram\" width=\"232\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isomtric-start.png 232w, https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isomtric-start-228x300.png 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can use the \u201cFloor Offset Multiplier\u201d to move the pipes on the second floor up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-158 aligncenter\" title=\"ff-isometric-move-floor\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isometric-move-floor.png\" alt=\"Isometric plumbing software\" width=\"232\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isometric-move-floor.png 232w, https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isometric-move-floor-228x300.png 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then use the \u201cOffset Isometric\u201d command to move the first floor pipes that are behind the riser.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-159 aligncenter\" title=\"ff-isometric-finished\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isometric-finished.png\" alt=\"Plumbing isometric\" width=\"232\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isometric-finished.png 232w, https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ff-isometric-finished-228x300.png 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about isometric riser diagrams in Design Master Plumbing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":165,"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156\/revisions\/165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designmaster.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
