Drawing isometric views is one way to simulate 3-dimensional drawing in two dimensions, and it may sometimes be the quickest way to sketch a 3D representation. However, with true 3D models, you can remove hidden lines automatically, display perspective views, or use shading to create realistic images with certain types of objects.
