The Sixth Figure.

The Manner of designing in Perspective, without occult Lines.

In this sixth Figure, I have design’d the Geometrical Plan B separately from the Geometrical Elevation A, as I shall always do hereafter. The Plan B optically contracted, or put in Perspective, in E, is NMRS; the Elevation of its Length in Perspective is FTSN. Then supposing the Heights FN, 1,5, 2,6, equal; and the Breadths NM, 1,2, 5,6, equal; the Lines NM, 5,6, to be in the Line of the Plan X; and the Lines FN, 1,5, in the Perpendicular V: the Angles 3 and 4 of the Base C have the very same Elevation or Distance from the Line of the Plan X, as has the Angle T: the Angles 1 and 2 have the same Elevation with the Angle F: the Angles 3 and 7 have the same Breadth or Distance from the Perpendicular V, as the Angle R has: the Angles 2 and 6 have the same Breadth, as the Angle M has.
