All the regular polyhedra are constructible within the flower of life grid, for example, the tetrahedron, the cube octahedron, I, cos a Hadrian and dodecahedron. Now these are three dimensional forms. And so we can represent them in a two dimensional way using this grid. And what I'd like to do is draw the dodecahedron for you. And to do that we need to construct these vanishing lines. And to do that, I'm going to zoom in to that blue circle as much as I can and draw a line segment.

And what I'm going to do is, maybe I'll make that in a slightly different color, or line thickness. I think what I'll do is draw it with a dashed line type and maybe a medium gray. So it stands out now I'm going to draw a line from the center of the top red circle down here to this red circle. And then do the same thing on the other side. And then draw lines that connect to these other red circle centers like that. So now we have these four radiating rays, if you will, coming out of the top circle, connecting to those circles down below.

Now I'm going to use the Hand tool and rotate the drawing and do the same thing again. Starting at the top, and coming down here. Now I don't want to do it that way. I'm gonna undo a draw using the colors and the line type that I set up before. So I'm going to draw it like this. And you want to be really careful that you don't snap to the wrong point here.

It's really easy to do because there's a lot of geometry on the screen and then I'm going To rotate again. And then continue drawing. Now notice that I don't have to draw the ray on the left, it's already there from before. So I can, I can draw additional lines, whatever's needed to complete this projection grid. Now rotate again. Draw again.

Again, I don't have to draw that first Ray. And now rotate again. It looks like the rays on the left and the right are already there. But I have to put the rays that go down like this. And similarly, I think we have just one more point to do. And that's this one here.

So I'm going to draw these construction lines down, I know I think I made a mistake on undo I need to be really careful that I start that line from the center at the top, not off. And I'm gonna zoom in there and just show you that now the trick for the requirement is that you have to you can't navigate while you're drawing. So what might be helpful is to zoom in as much as you can where you can see the start and end points simultaneously. And then draw it out. Now again, I see it that's wrong. Maybe if I draw it the other way, from here, up to here, I'm going to have more luck, there we go.

And then again, the last line that we need, starts here and ends up above. So you want to take a close look at what you've drawn. And you may need to erase lines. Like I can see over here I made a mistake. Already erase this line here because actually It's not that one. It's this one here.

Okay, let's fix that. So I'll draw a new line that goes from the center down below, up to the center up above. I think that is correct. So you want to take a really close look at what you've drawn, and make sure that the lines that you intend to connect are connected at the center points of the red circles. In the next video, we'll use this projection grid to draw in the actual dodecahedron
