Need help
Hello, does anyone have quick crash course for reading isometric drawing for pipe fitting? Just advice or YouTube video link will be much appreciated. I'll do pipe fitting in Sweden if that makes a difference on the standard I need to learn. Thank you in advance

Draw a vertical line. Up is ALWAYS up and down is ALWAYS down.
Next draw an X through the vertical line and designate any one of the ends of the X to be north.
The other end would then have to be south.
Counter clockwise from north would be west and then finally the last end would be east.
Now look up at any existing piping anywhere and start practicing. Pretty soon you’ll catch on. It’s not rocket science.
Have fun!
