2 point perspective views ?

How can I create 2 point perspective rather than the standard three point
the comes with the 3D orbit ?

as long as your viewpoint and target point are at the same z elevation, you
should get 2-point perspective. 3-point (converging verticals) comes only
when your view axis is "up" or "down", i.e. not parallel to the xy plane.

Sorry about last blank post - finger trouble! I
double clicked on reply to group instead of a single click!!

 

Anyhow, I don't think that 2-point perspective is
an option in AutoCAD.

 

From the help files:

 

Perspective: Changes the view so that all
parallel lines converge at one point. Objects appear to recede into the distance
while parts of the objects appear larger and closer to you. The shapes are
somewhat distorted when the object is very close. This view correlates most
closely to what your eye sees.

 

3-point perspective is actually what the eye sees
but for illustrations of buildings 2-point is more often used. You could
manually do the drafting using 2 vanishing points but this makes 3D modelling
superfluous in the first instance.

 

I can think of no solution to your post other
than to convert your 3D model to 2D using SOLVIEW, SOLPROF, SOLDRAW and
then redraw the vertical lines and adjust the perspective lines to connect to
the redrawn vertical lines. But this seems as much work as 2D drafting the piece
to be drawn in 2-point perspective in the first place.

Try this: Create a sample 3d model. Go to view->3d views->viewpoint and
type in 0,1,0. This puts your view on the horizon line, looking right
down the Y-axis. Go to 3d orbit; from the right click menu choose
projection->perspective. (If your model disappears, you may need to
right click and choose more->adjust distance, which works much like to
real-time zoom, to retrieve it.) Your view will be a true one-point
perspective. If you then right click and PAN, the view will then become
2 point perspective - verticals remain vertical and the other planes
recede to vanishing points. It appears you can then PAN vertically and
horizontally without introducing the vertical distortion of true 3 point
perspective. Hope this helps.
