3D Perspective Grid for drawing a perspective drawing?

[Gus]

I have created a 3D Document and I am drafting lines over it using vanishing points I derived from Box Shaped Shelves on the 3D Document. I can draw in perspective using these vanishing points, however it takes a long time because I need to zoom way in and way out every time I need to draw a new line.

When I draw axonometric drawings I can set the snap angles and do every line using those snaps I believe. Is there a way to have the snap angles go to vanishing points rather than to angles on the paper plane itself?

In other words "I would like to snap to vanishing points rather than to 90 and 45 degree angles.

Has anyone ever been able to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope.

But remember that you can save zoom properties. So zoom into one of the vanishing points, and save the zoom as something like VP1, do the same for the other. Now, you can just be over your drawing, select the line tool, click the zoom call-out and click VP1, it'll take you to the saved zoom, click to start a line, then select "go to previous zoom" (or use the "back" button of your mouse if it has one) and it will return to the drawing with the line still being drawn. No need to scroll to zoom in and out every time. Real time saver.

Best regards.

Why don't you just model it and adjust the camera settings for the view you want?
