Assignment 5

1) This is the intersection of the ground plane with the picture plane:

Vanishing Point
Ground Line
Station Point
Horizon

2) In perspective drawings this is placed between the observer and the object:

Vanishing point / horizon

Station Point
Ground Line
Plane of projection / picture plane

3) When positioning this feature of perspective projection, the centerline of the cone of visual rays
should be directed toward the approximate center of the object:

Station Point
Vanishing Point
Ground Line
Horizon

4) Perspective drawings are classified according to their number of these features:

Station Points
Picture Plane
Vanishing Point
Ground Line

5) Lines that are parallel to the picture plane remain parallel to one another and do not converge to a
vanishing point.

True
False

6) If a plane is parallel to the plane of projection, it appears:

True Size
As a line or edge
Foreshortened
As an oblique surface

7) If an edge is perpendicular to a plane of projection, it appears as a point.

True
False
