3 Creating the architectural elements in perspective.
Leaving the perspective grid active
and sketch template layer visible, Maric was able to easily focus on the current active
drawing plane using the Plane Switching Widget. Maric primarily used the Rectangle
tool to create the front entrance of the building and main architectural elements. He
organized drawn elements (façade, windows, mullions) in the Layers panel in accor-
dance with the way they appear in real life. So, windows would be lower on the layer
stack, mullions would be in front of windows, and the façade would be on top of the
layer stack. By selecting the right plane in the Plane Switching Widget, he created the
receding front wall, windows, and mullions to align with this plane.
