12
Taking dimensions from the orthographic views (the edge of the
object that touches the picture plane), measure the vertical distance
along line OY (figure 5-16, view D).
13
Project these points to the vanishing points.
14
The edges and comers of the object outline are defined where the
visual rays intersect the perpendicular projectors.
15
Darken the object outlines.
Figure 5-16 shows the mechanical plan view method of constructing two-
point perspectives.
