Step 6: Complete the drawing
We just need to transform the top view to complete the drawing. Select the top view.
To match the vertical sections of the top with the horizontal width of the sides, we have
set the top view's height to 75% in the Transform palette.
To determine the skew angles, we will apply the same reasoning as in the previous
exercises. The horizontal sides of the top must be vertically skewed -15 degrees to
match the horizontals of the front side. The vertical sides of the top must be horizon-
tally skewed -60 degrees to align with the 30 degree skew of the right and left sides.
Enter these values in the Transform palette, then move the top into position, and you
should have the results of Figure 1.17. As with the previous exercise, foreshortening
the left and right sides by changing the width makes the desk appear more realistic
than in the isometric drawing. Save your file as desk_Dimetric2.fla .

Tip: Use 1_1_desk.fla , Figure 1.5, and what you have learned in the last three exer-
cises to develop plan oblique, elevation oblique, and transoblique drawings of the desk
as shown in Figure 1.18.
