6. Three-dimensional figures have faces, edges, and vertices
Three-dimensional figures have faces, edges, and vertices. A face is a flat surface, an edge is where two faces meet, and a vertex is where three or more edges meet.

8. Additional Example 1: Drawing a Rectangular Box
Use isometric dot paper to sketch a rectangular box that is 5 units long, 3 units deep and 2 units tall.
Step 1: Lightly draw the edges of the bottom face. It will look like a parallelogram. 3 units by 5 units
Step 2: Lightly draw the vertical line segments from the vertices of the base. 2 units high
Step 3: Lightly draw the top face by connecting the vertical lines to form a parallelogram. 3 units by 5 units
Step 4: Darken the lines. Use solid lines for the edges that are visible and dashed lines for the edges that are hidden.

15. Perspective is a technique used to make drawings of three-dimensional objects appear to have depth and distance. In one-point perspective drawings, there is one vanishing point.

16. Additional Example 2: Sketching a One Point Perspective Drawing
Sketch a one-point perspective drawing of a cube. V
Step 1: Draw a square. This will be the front face. Label the vertices A through D. G A B C D
Step 2: Mark a vanishing point V above your square, and draw a dashed line from each vertex to V.
Step 3: Choose a point G on BV and draw a smaller square that has G as one of its vertices.
Step 4: Darken the visible edges, and draw dashed segments for the hidden edges. Erase the vanishing point and the lines connecting it to the vertices.

17. Additional Example 2: Sketching a One Point Perspective Drawing
Sketch a one-point perspective drawing of a cube.
Step 1: Draw a square. This will be the front face. Label the vertices A through D.
Step 2: Mark a vanishing point V above your square, and draw a dashed line from each vertex to V.
Step 3: Choose a point G on BV and draw a smaller square that has G as one of its vertices.
Step 4: Darken the visible edges, and draw dashed segments for the hidden edges. Erase the vanishing point and the lines connecting it to the vertices.

Sketch a one-point perspective drawing of a rectangular box. V
Step 1: Draw a rectangle. This will be the front face. Label the vertices A through D. G A B C D
Step 2: Mark a vanishing point V above your rectangle, and draw a dashed line from each vertex to V.
Step 3: Choose a point G on BV and draw a smaller rectangle that has G as one of its vertices.
Step 4: Darken the visible edges, and draw dashed segments for the hidden edges. Erase the vanishing point and the lines connecting it to the vertices.

20. You can also draw a figure in two-point perspective by using two vanishing points and a horizon line.
Moving the horizon line up and down gives you different views of the figure.

21. Additional Example 3: Sketching a Two-Point Perspective Drawing
