Guide
In a Schrägbild (Kavalierperspektive) the front face lies in the drawing plane and is drawn true to size. Edges that go into the depth are drawn at the Verzerrungswinkel ω = 45° and shortened by the Verzerrungsmaßstab q = ½.
Parallel edges stay parallel. Hidden edges are drawn dashed. This studio shows the solid itself; the oblique picture is described in the tasks, so you can draw it in your exercise book.
For the Realschule: from a Schrägbild you can also read off the true size of a segment or angle in the front plane.
