What are the "rules" of Cavalier and military oblique projections?

1.7k Views Asked by At

I am trying to learn the "rules" of the different types of orthographic projections.

For example:

The above adequately/simply explains the rules of trimetric, dimetric and isometric axonometric projections.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a nice info graphic that explains the rules of the different types of oblique projections.

The following is my best educated guess:

Cavalier Left rules:
• Two equal axes & angles
• Angles A & B are equal
• Corners MY and MZ are equal in length

Cavalier Right Rules:
• Two equal axes & angles
• Angles A & C are equal
• Corners MX and MY are equal in length

Military Rules:
• Two equal axes & angles
• Angles B & C are equal
• Corners MX & MZ are equal in length

Questions:

  1. Are my above guesses correct?
  2. If not, what are the rules to cavalier and military oblique projections?

I would love some help!
