Next ...think about each of the lines in turn .... if this were a real object in
front of you, would you be able to put your hand ‘behind’ the line you are thinking about ?
For instance the line that shows the top of the roof (marked in blue) in the sketch above and to the right, helps represent a surface that would stop you from seeing your hand if it were passed behind it. However the line that helps represent the front of the ‘flat roof’ part of the building (shown in red) wouldn’t let you put a hand behind that surface.
