Position the pointer at the origin of the perspective grid (where the two planes
meet at the bottom). Notice that the cursor has an arrow pointing to the left ( ),
indicating that you are about to draw on the left grid plane. Drag up and to the left,
until the gray measurement label shows an approximate width of 2.4 in and a
height of approximately 3 in. As you drag, the pointer should be snapping to the
gridlines.
Zooming in brings into view more gridlines that are closer to the vanishing point.
That's why, depending on the zoom level, your grid may not match the figures ex-
actly, and that's okay.
