MEASURING POINT METHOD
6!..
• From the major left and right vanishing points (VPL
and VPR), draw lines through the transferred
measurements along the major horizontal baselines in perspective.
• The result is a perspective gridof one-foot squares
on the floor or ground plane. W one-foot squares
hen
become too small to draw accurately, use two-foot
or four-foot squares instead.
• From VPL and VPR, draw lines through the scaled
measurements along VML to establish asimilar
vertical grid.
• Over this perspective grid, you can lay tracing
paper and draw a perspective view. It is important
to see the perspective grid as a network of points
and lines defining transparent planes in space
rather than solid, opaque wa lls enclosing space.
Thegrid of squares facilitates the plotting of
points in three-dimensional space, regulates the
perspect ive width, height, and depth of objects,
and guides the drawing of lines in proper
perspective.
