A drawing with long receding lines reduced by one-half, but dimensioned true size, is known as a(n) _____ drawing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of drawing is known as a cabinet projection, where the receding lines are reduced by one-half and are perpendicular to the picture plane. This creates a 3D illusion while still maintaining true dimensions. Cavalier projection has lines that are reduced but not to the same degree, trimetric projection has varying degrees of reduction, and two-point perspective uses two vanishing points to create the illusion of depth.
