# How to measure the distance to horizon line one-point perspective?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-08-08)

I am drawing a room, which is 10m x 10m (or whatever units).

I am drawing it in one point perspective.

How do I determine exactly where to draw the back wall? As in, how far back.

In the following explanation I had to make some assumptions:

1. Room is 10 x 10 x 10
2. I had to assume a distance (station point) for the observer a fixed distance from the object. Need to know how far the observer is from the object being viewed.
3. You are looking for a one point perspective solution for where to place the back wall.
