Either the longest line, or the line that is going to be closest to one of the original "y" lines.

You know how sometimes you can see that one of the back lines is going to practically overlap with a front line? If that happens, you can just travel up and down it, keeping roughly parallel to that original "y", looking for the best spot that the other two back lines to intersect. Way easier than trying to simultaneously figure out all 3.

I sort of diagrammed it out here, for my own purposes. You can see how adding each segment adds pieces of information to the box. https://imgur.com/a/HHzeYyF

You're an absolute champion, dude! This is so helpful! I really appreciate how you explained your thought process in each step and then provided the examples. The way you approach that nasty back corner has helped me understand it so much better. Amazing work, thank you so much for sharing this with me, I will definitely be using it as a reference.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
