1. Let Vanishing Point (LVP) is the vanishing point on the
let o the grid. A vanishing point is the point where allparallel lines in the respective plane converge.
2. Right Vanishing Point (RVP): The vanishing point onthe right o the grid.
3. Horizon Height: line denoting the viewing horizon
4. Ground level: the line denoting the level in spacewhere the grid rests
5. True Height Line: is the imaginary line on which the X
dimension o an object will correspond exactly on the
perspective.6. Right Grid Plane Control: is used to select/move the
right grid plane using PS/PG tool.7. Horizontal Grid plane Control: is used to select/move
the horizontal grid plane using PS/PG tool.
8. Let Grid plane control: is used to select/move the letgrid plane using PS/PG tool.
9. Origin: is the original point o calculation or the grid
10. Rulers: are used to measure relative distances in
perspective11. Grid Size: this widget can be used to increase/decrease
grid cell sizes12. Grid Extent widget: is used to determine the extent
to which the user wishes to see the grid ormed on
respective planes. Closer than 1 pixel grid lines willautomatically turn o in lower zoom conditions and
will become visible as zoom level increases.

Getting good reerences or thevarious details is important to
achieve accuracy in your fnal
composition. Also important isto enable base reerences to be
accurate so that they become thereerence point or the overall
structure and any errors can becorrected using these reerences.
In this drawing, the top o the baseplatorm was my base reerence.

Creation of the Base Plinth
The base plinth creation required the creation o aacade and the plan o the Taj and then setting the
grid and its scale in relative manner. The base plinthwas created as a square on ground plane and then the
sides were created using automatic plane positioning
(pressing Shit while hovering over an anchor pointwhile grid is in view) and drawing on respective
plane. To create the series o rectangles on the plinth,one rectangle was created precisely using automatic
plane positioning and then the next was duplicatedusing Alt/opt+drag with PS tool. Subsequently
Transorm Again command (Cmd/Ctrl + D) was usedto quickly draw all the rectangles.

Creating the Basic Main Structure
Transorm panel is o immense use while creating
objects accurately on the perspective grid. Make surethat the grid is visible and that PS tool is active on
the object selection while inputting the dimensions.
Minor rounding o measurement errors will maniestbut they are harmless and happen due to extreme
calculations Ai needs to make.
