@Marshall Vandruff, Amazing! I was waiting for this one, I've been staring uncomprehendingly at the diagram in my Loomis' book for weeks. I had a real problem figuring out how he placed the measuring point, you cleared this up for me in seconds! Thank you.
One question, can this be used in the other direction? if you knew how big your first division was on a plane could you then project that out on to the measuring line and find how big the equal spaces should be on the measuring line? Or is this impossible without knowing the angle of the connecting parallel? I know that diagonal vanishing points suits this problem way better, but I'm just curious.
LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
I will show you the most versatile method for measuring depth in space. We will use a measuring line and a special vanishing point to solve almost any measuring problem. You will learn how to take a line in perspective, get it out of perspective, measure it, and put it back. I will teach you how to transfer any divisions to a receding line using parallel lines. This works for even, odd, or unequal divisions. We will also cover all-around transfers so you can send measurements across floor, wall, and ceiling planes in one, two, and three-point perspective. You will get the exact steps to build and expand complex environments accurately.

I will show you how to solve almost any measuring problem in perspective using a flat measuring line and a special vanishing point.

If you can draw what you're trying to do and post it soon, I'll try to get to it for the coming crit.
Wow I just finished the exercises on this vid. I'm surprised how simple and yet complicated it is. though I do wish I could get rid of the extra lines when I am done with them.

Dennis - remember the secret of overlays: vellum is one way.
Another is to work lightly with erasable colored pencils, then do the finished lines with something less erasable.
Etc. There are ways...
