The next item is to place a cube on the top of theplatform, the axis of the cube presumably coincidingwith the axis of the platform. We have the centre ofthe circle as our start-point K. Our sketch-plan is shownin the diagram. We shall have to add DE to our square,in order that we may get from K to the sides. Our are on left and right, and their must 238 Perspective be found. The square is in the plane of the top of theplatform; so the measurement will be made on thepicture-line 4 feet below the eye. We proceed thus:We draw from 30 on right a line through thecentre K. Then we measure along the line from K,KE and KD. To do this we bring a line from , 30down to the , and so obtain point K on it. Then oneither side we put the actual measurements KE and KDto right and left, and then take lines back to
