we are going to create a 2 Point Perspectiveview
drawing of our subject working from plan and
elevation view

12. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 3
Place the lower right corner of Plan View on the PP and rotate
it clockwise.The choice of 30° is arbitrary, but should provide
agood view

13. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 4
In Fig.4 we will locate the Station Point. Measure the
horizontal width of our Plan View (X) and double it.
Extend avertical line from the corner that touches the
Picture Plane downward. At two times X we will locate
the Station Point.

14. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 5
Draw lines for the Horizon and Ground Line Fig. 5.The
location of these lines are infinitely variable.
151 Arch. DaniaAbdel-Aziz
15. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 6
Draw 2 lines from the SP that are parallel to the bottom
edges of the Plan View Fig 6.The lines should intersect
with the PP (points a&b).Next draw vertical lines from
points a&b to the HL.The point where these vertical
lines intersect the HL is where the leftand right vanishing
points (VPL &VPR) will be located.

STEP 7
The last part of preliminary layout will be to placethe
Side Elevation view from Fig.1 onto the GL. Project aline
(orange dashed line b) from the top of the Elevation View
to the vertical Line Of Sight (LS) Fig. 7.
153 Arch. DaniaAbdel-Aziz
17. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 8
We are now ready to start projecting lines to the
vanishing points. Referring to Fig. 8,draw lines fromboth
vanishing points (VPL &VPR) to the top and bottom
reference points of our subject (points a&b).
154 Arch. DaniaAbdel-Aziz
18. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 9
To locate the vertical lines on our subject,draw lines
from the SP to corners a&b on the Plan View Fig. 9.At
the point where these lines intersect the PP,draw vertical
lines (orange dashed lines) downward to intersect the
vanishing point projection lines.

19. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 10
Using the same procedure as shown in Fig.9,find the
smaller features on the subject in both the Plan View and
the Elevation View (a &c) in Fig. 10.
156 Arch. DaniaAbdel-Aziz
20. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 11
Project the smaller features on the subject in both the Plan
View towards the vanishing point projection lines Fig. 11.
157 Arch. DaniaAbdel-Aziz
21. 2-Point perspective drawing
STEP 12
The last step is to darken the object's construction lines,
and heavyin the visible finaledge lines,to increase
readability Fig. 12.

25. TERMINOLOGY
GroundPlane(GP):
Ground Plane is a horizontal plane representing
ground on which the object is assumed to be
placed.
Picture Plane(PP):
It is a vertical transparent plane on which the
perspective view of the object is projected. It is
placed in between the object and observer. The
front view of the perspective elements and of the
object (if necessary) may also be projected on the
PP.
26. TERMINOLOGY
Horizon Plane / HorizontalPlane (HP):
It is an imaginary horizontal plane at the level of the
observer’s eye or S. It is above and parallel to the
GPand perpendicular to thePP.
Stationpoint (S)(i.e., eye level):
Station point is the position of the observer’s eye.
Its position is fixed at any convenient distance
either from the picture plane or from the object.
Shape and visibility of edges of perspective
projection dependsupon the position ofS.
27. TERMINOLOGY
GroundLine(CL):
It isthe line of intersection of the GPwith the PP.
HorizonLine(HL):
It isthe line of intersection of HPwith PP.It is
parallel to GL.
Axisof Vision(AV) PerpendicularAxis(PA)/ Lineof
Sight:
It isaline drawn perpendicular to the PPfromS.
28. TERMINOLOGY
Centerof vision(C):
It isthe point at which the axisof visionpiercesthe
PP.Itisalsothe point of intersection of HLwith AV.
Central Plane(CP):
It isanimaginary vertical plane whichpasses
through the Sand C.Itis
perpendicular to both the PPand the GP.Itcontains
the Axis ofVision(Ay).
VanishingPoint(VP):
All the projections converge to apointknown as
VanishingPoint. RaviSivaprakashAP/MECHAAMEC

PROBLEM 1
A square prism , side of base 40 mm and height 60 mm
rests with its base on the ground s uch that one of its
rectangular facesis parallel to and 10 mm behind the
picture plane. The station point is 30 mm in front of PP,
80 mm above the ground plane and lies in acentral plane
45 mm to the right of the center of the prism. Draw the
perspective projection of the square prism.
