​PULL-DOWN 2-PT PERSPECTIVE

This is a system used by architects and interior designers for many decades as it is a very direct and quick method for developing complex spaces.

 

The videos below may help you work through the process. Don't be intimidated, it's quite easy once you get the hang of it. I recommend
watching them in full screen mode to see the details.

Note: There is an error with the vertical scale of this drawing. I thought the plan was at 3/8" scale,
but in fact it's at 3/16". The result is the vertical height on the VML is 2x too tall. Otherwise, the mechanics, method, and process is unaffected. The video below corrects this error.

EXAMPLES OF THE SETUP

One of the great aspects of this system is it allows the designer to develop elevation views simultaneously; you just need a large enough work surface.
