Figure 2-2.

Two-point or angular perspective

5. Next, the picture plane for the side view was established.

Then the

side view was drawn. (Points may be projected from the top view to the side

view if necessary).

Remember that the picture plane in the side view or

elevation is the same picture plane shown in the top view and thus, it is

the same horizontal distance from the object.

6. The station point for the side view was located next.

Remember this

station point is the same point seen in the top view and, therefore, it is

the same horizontal distance from the object.

However, its angle to the

object can vary.

This variation of the station point in the side view

determines the height of the eye level or horizon line.

Note that the

station point for the side view always falls on the horizon line.
