That's so perfectly simple its almost painful that it never dawned on me before!!
Well done on seeing the obvious and explaining it.
The obvious is only seen when you need it. That's what I always think

Very nice tutorial Broomstick!
Can i add one thing to this?
I have a slightly different workflow.here's the file that u can use/import as component for different projects.
isometric cube placed.skpstep 1: place the cube on the red and green axes.
step 2: set view to parallel
step 3: select the blue face
step 4: right click and press align view
and this should do the job.
Hope this will add something and thanks for bringing the subject up.
Greetings Erwin

Thanks all. That's brilliant! If only I had any understanding why it works, I would know HOW brilliant.

wow, now I feel like an idiot.
But yes, you're right. Lets just say that the metod I showed allows you to do an ISO view in the direction you prefer...

Hm, the Sketchup function let you do this also.
Rotate fairly into the wanted view and choose ISO and it will be aligned exactly into the prefered view. -

Rotate fairly into the wanted view and choose ISO and it will be aligned exactly into the prefered view.I did not know that, that's why I came up with my solution
thanks for pointing it out for me..

Got one more question about this:
The Architecture projects i work on are mostly world orientated so they don't follow the sketchup basic axes.
When i change the axes to follow the direction of the building and i want that view in isometric view. sketchup still shows the isometric view based on the basic axes.
Do i something wrong here? or is that the only restriction that your model has to follow the basic axes. -

Thanks for the awesome tip - just what i need for some iso architectural diagrams!

TIG also has created a great plugin for both Axometricand Isometricviews which can be found in the link below:
