Placing right angles to vanishing points
- Place two Vanishing Points on the Horizon line.
- Draw semicircle between vanishing points either above or (typically) below the horizon line.
- Pick a point anywhere on the circle to use as the Station Point.
- Two lines drawn from the two vanishing points to the Station Point will always be perpedicular to each other. [1]
Placing measuring points
Measuring Points translate distances that are parrallel to the picture plane to distances that recede in perspective.
- Place the Station Point as described in Placing right angles to vanishing points
- Draw a segment of a circle with a radius from the Left Vanishing Point to the Station Point.
- Draw the segment of the circle so that it intersects the Horizon Line. This intersection is the Right Measuring Point.
(Basically this is placing a point on the horizon the same distance from the left vanishing point as the station point is from the left vanishing point. ) - Repeat the process for the Left Measuring Point.
- Draw a segment of a circle with a radius from the Right Vanishing Point to the Station Point.
- Have the cirlce segment intersect the Horizon Line. This intersection is the Left Measuring Point. [2]
