Custom geometry
Isometric Shape Builder
Build custom isometric objects when a basic cuboid or cylinder is not enough. Isometic Studio's shape-building workflow lets you combine geometric forms into more specific objects and then use those objects inside a complete isometric illustration.
Move beyond basic isometric primitives
Simple primitives are ideal for blocking out a scene, but many illustrations need objects with cutouts, combined volumes or more recognizable silhouettes. The shape builder gives you a middle ground between basic primitives and drawing everything manually with a pen tool.
Create the object you need, place it with the rest of the scene, and keep the composition organized using the same layer workflow as other elements.
Combine the builder with the rest of the editor
Custom shapes become more useful when they are part of a larger system. Pair them with ready-made assets for common objects, use lines and text for annotation, or add imported artwork through the image-to-isometric workflow.
- Create custom forms from geometric building blocks
- Use custom objects alongside standard isometric primitives
- Control stacking and organization with layers
- Add pen-drawn details when geometry alone is not enough
- Export the completed illustration as SVG, PNG or JPEG
Build once, compose the complete illustration
The shape builder is intended for object construction, while the main isometric illustration maker handles the full composition. This separation keeps the workflow fast: create the special geometry only where you need it and use reusable shapes everywhere else.
Frequently asked questions
What is an isometric shape builder?
It is a tool for constructing custom objects that follow an isometric visual system, typically by combining or modifying simpler geometric forms.
Can I use ready-made shapes as well?
Yes. Isometic Studio includes standard primitives and a library of more than 100 ready-made isometric shapes in addition to its custom-building tools.
Can custom shapes be exported as vectors?
The finished illustration can be exported as SVG with the One-Time Pass, which is useful when vector output is required.
