A set 2D (34x34) tiles, for drawing simple isometric models. There is no need to overlay tiles, simply offset alternative columns up/down by half a tile to match up.
Each tile is surrounded by six others, so there are 2^6 (64) possible combinations. Wang tile maths, using neighbour weightings can be used to correctly draw each tile.
To draw non-solid models, tiles can be 'split', drawn as two separate tiles, so one part of the model overlays the other. After some experimenting, I found that just 16 tiles produce the most used and least ambiguous 25 splits.

ooh, neat! very M.C. Escher
Uhh, that first preview appears to be the tileset itself, while the file people can actually download appears to be another preview. Would you be willing to swap those two?
ooops! sorry, finger slipped to wrong file. Corrected.
I think this can be used for a edge-like game
Edge is a great game, not sure exactly how it was made but it certainly could have been drawn with this type of isometric tile set.
