  • Finding the vanishing points using a 60-degree cone of vision.
  • Projecting lines from the viewer through the object's corners to the picture plane.
  • Transferring intersection points to the plan view to establish accurate measurements.
  • Handling true heights when objects don't touch the picture plane.
