The inclined roof plane has its own vanishing trace. Find it by connecting the vanishing point of the incline with the left vanishing point. This inclined vanishing trace can be used to subdivide inclined lines on the roof plane by using a construction similar to the one Marshall used to subdivide the level line.
LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
I will show you how to draw inclined planes accurately using the vanishing trace. We take the horizon line you already know and rotate it 90 degrees to track lines that angle up and down. You will learn how to construct wedges, roofs, and ramps without guessing at the angles. I demonstrate a shortcut method using right-angle boxes to connect dots, and I also teach you the precise way to find the exact vanishing point for any incline. This lets you control convergence perfectly. You will see how to add parallel details like railings to a ramp or perfectly spaced tiles to a roof. By the end of this, you will know exactly how to handle non-level planes in your drawings.

Guessing the angles of inclined planes distorts perspective.
The vanishing trace acts as a vertical horizon line. Locate the level vanishing point and track straight up or down. This technique controls convergence to keep parallel elements aligned.
wow I didn't know most of this. kinda jarring. yet exciting at the same time. I am for sure do this about a dozen times until I get a better understanding. though I can not wait to use this on robot and the like
