@COD Hi, yes that is a good idea. I also thought while I was doing it that it would be nice to somehow automate the process. When I have time I will look into the method you are using. Thanks!
edit: I looked it up, now I learned something again! So far, I've overlooked the possibility of symbol libraries. Thanks again for the tip!
I have been using Inkscape since 2012 but things really took off for me when I discovered symbols about 2 years ago.
In your case, maybe set up a axonometric grid and place the symbols on the side of the canvas. Use it as a construction template. Snapping to grid only would help a lot.
The only issue is going to be color. You will have to create a symbol set for each color.
Tip: Before you convert a block to a symbol, be sure to set both the object label and title to the block name. Makes it easier to find in the symbol dialog.
Using grid and snapping really helps a lot in clearing things up.
Yes, I can see that it is really easier to build a set of colors and make all the elements with it. Although the basic color of the elements used from the library can be changed afterwards, if I convert the given object back into a curve. So the opportunity is not taken anyway, it's just an extra step in the process.
I even found that it may be sufficient to rewrite the given group ID in the xml editor so that the object appears everywhere with the correct name.
I wonder if you can create a symbol set from this similar to what was done for this:

@COD You might be interested, I put together another set with dimetric projection.
