perspective five -railway line

f) Add the vertical lines 50mm (2") high and join to CVP

g) Firm in the lines as shown and ask:

How high is the building? The student should measure the width of the tracks on the line directly

opposite the front edge of the station and apply that 'scale' to the building's height. Objects an

equal distance away from the 'observer' are subject to the same measurements of 'scale '

at that distance. In this drawing the scale is discovered by knowing the width of the track at that
