If I had turned in a perspective assignment that looked like a CAD perspective my art teachers would have flunked me. The purpose of CAD perspective is to check things like clearances and not to provide a realistic or visually correct interpretation of an object. Shown above is a perspective view. Below is how CAD would interpret the same thing. Obviously the CAD example is parallel construction and not perspective. While it is a departure from isometric construction Iíll walk you through a simple perspective construction. We will be creating a simple office building.
|Use the Rectangle Tool to create an object 4 inches wide and 2 inches high. Use the Property Bar to correct the size. Duplicate the rectangle and change the dimensions with the property bar to 2 inches wide and 2 inches high. Create the door by using the Rectangle Tool and the Property Bar to create a rectangle that is 0.5 inches wide by 0.8 high. Shift click select the outside rectangle and use the Align (Ctrl+A) command to align horizontally centered and vertically bottom with the first rectangle.|
